Description
Summary:Schematic skeletons of a seal (Carnivora: Pinnipedia), a toothed whale (Cetacea: Odontoceti) and a baleen whale (Cetacea: Mysticeti) showing the main anatomical districts (cranium, mandibles, vertebrae, ribs, sternum and limb bones) taken into considerations in the present work. Complete skeletons are depicted in lateral view; additional sketches of the crania in dorsal view are also provided.
