	Cetacea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cetaceans are nearly hairless, and are insulated by a thick layer of blubber.
		It is a fallacy to believe that all Mysticeti feed on plankton, because for some species their prey animals are not plankton.
		One species of Mysticeti, the Gray Whale (Escrichtius robustus) is a benthic feeder.

		The Odontoceti are equipped with teeth to tear their food, and the Mysticeti have a special filtration system created by baleen.
		Baleen is a flexible horn-like material that grows in plates from the upper jaw of the Mysticeti (fig.
		On the interior of the whale's mouth, the baleen fibrils act as a filter during feeding by forming a porous mat.

	Cetaceans
		There are two suborders of cetaceans, the toothed whales (Odontoceti) and the baleen whales (Mysticeti).
		Mysticeti: There are three families of baleen whales, including the rorquals (Balaenopteridae), the right whales (Balaenidae), and the gray whales (Eschrichtiidae).
		Instead of using teeth to feed, these whales have plates of baleen fibers to filter their food from the ocean.

		The feature that characterizes the mysticeti is the filtering system in their mouths formed by the baleen or whalebone, which takes the place of teeth.
		The baleens are long, flexible plates arranged along the upper jaw like the teeth on a comb.
		The cetaceans with baleens (mysticeti) include all the large whales that feed on plankton and small crustaceans or fishes.

	Marine Mammals I: The Cetaceans
		The last group is the Mysticeti, or baleen whales.
		These whales have lost their teeth, and instead have plates of a fibrous substance called baleen which they use to filter plankton from the water.
		The Mysticeti first appear in the fossil record in the early Oligocene Period (36 to 22.5 million years ago).

		There are two living suborders: Mysticeti and Odontoceti.
		This suborder is more diverse than the suborder Mysticeti (mysticetes or baleen whales).
		Mysticeti includes only four families, six genera and at least 13 species.

	Baleen Whales: Scientific Classification
		This large order is further divided into three suborders: the toothed whales or Odontoceti (killer whales, dolphins, porpoises, beluga whales, and sperm whales), the baleen whales or Mysticeti (blue whales, humpback whales, gray whales and right whales), and the Archaeoceti (which are all now extinct).
		The term "baleen whale" is another name for the scientific suborder Mysticeti.
		The word Mysticeti is derived from the Greek word for moustache, mystax.

		There are 3 groups in the Order of cetaceans, they are Mysticeti the baleen whales, Odontoceti the tooth whales and dolphins and Archaeoceti the ancient extinct whales which are known only from the fossil record.
		The baleen serve as strainers to catch the krill and plankton as the water is ejected from the whale’s mouth.
		This name, Mysticeti has been given to these whales because the hanging baleen is reminiscent of a moustache.

		Not surprisingly, very little information on baleen was available in the conservation literature, yet it soon became apparent that baleen was commonly found on many museum artifacts.
		Mammals of the Cetacea order, which includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises, can be divided into two suborders: Mysticeti and Odontoceti.
		Mysticeti whales feed primarily on small shrimp-like crustaceans called krill, which measure approximately 2 in long.

	Cetacean Knowledge For all those who love whales,dolphins and porpoises.
		Within the Cetacea are two suborders: the Mysticeti and the Odontoceti.
		The Mysticeti is the suborder in which all baleen whales are classified.
		The Mysticeti is compiled of four families: the Eschichtidae (gray whale), the Balaenidae, the Neobalaenidae, and the Balenapteridae.

		Mysticeti usually has a larger body size than Odonticeti.
		It is interesting to note that fossil Mysticeti have teeth, demonstrating their derivation from Archaeoceti which had teeth.

	- Overselling of Whale Evolution -
		The Odontoceti, late Eocene to Recent, are on a higher grade than the Archaeoceti and, on the average, lower than the Mysticeti, middle Oligocene to Recent, but apparently were not derived from the former and did not give rise to the latter.
		The 75 to 77 living species are divided into 13 or 14 families and two suborders: Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises).
		The extinct suborder Archaeoceti is a wastebasket group that includes all ancient toothed Cetacea that lack the cranial features of Odontoceti and Mysticeti.

		Like all mammals, it bears live young, breathes air, is warm blooded, and nurses its young.
		The gray whale is in the scientific order Cetacea (from the Latin "cetus"), and in the sub-order Mysticeti (from Latin for mustache).
		All Mysticeti whales have baleen fringes inside their mouths rather than teeth, and they have two blowholes.
