Marine Mammal Medicine
Marine Mammal Medicine is a specialized field focused on the health and treatment of marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, and seals. Veterinarians in this field study the unique anatomy and physiology of these animals to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. They often work in aquariums, marine parks, and research institutions.
This branch of medicine also involves preventive care, rehabilitation, and research on the effects of environmental factors on marine mammal health. Marine mammal veterinarians collaborate with marine biologists and conservationists to ensure the well-being of these species in both captivity and the wild.
