There are two major categories of whales, baleen whales and toothed whales. Of the toothed whales the largest are the sperm whale and the humpbacked whale. Both are carnivorous and have "fearsome" teeth. Just ask Capt. Ahab.

Many varieties of whales ave parasitic isopod infestations (barnacles for those of you in Rio Vista). If you have ever seen one up close and knew absolutely nothing of marine biology you might try to explain it that way.

Have you ever seen a baby hippo follow its mother?
