Odontoceti (odontocetes)
Toothed whales, also known as odontocetes, are a diverse group of cetaceans that includes over 70 different species. They are known for their intelligence and complex social behavior, and are able to use echolocation to navigate and hunt for food. Toothed whales range in size from the small vaquita and dwarf sperm whale, which can be under 6 feet long, to the Orca, which can grow up to 30 feet long. They are found throughout the world's oceans, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and occupy a wide range of habitats, including deep offshore waters, coastal areas, and rivers.
