Toothed whales, also known as odontocetes, are a group of marine mammals that possess teeth instead of baleen. This group includes species such as sperm whales, orcas, and dolphins. They are known for their complex social structures and communication skills, often using echolocation to navigate and hunt for prey. These whales primarily feed on fish, squid, and other marine animals. Toothed whales are found in oceans worldwide, from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea. Their diverse adaptations allow them to thrive in various environments, making them an important part of marine ecosystems.
