Cetacea is a scientific order of large aquatic mammals that have forelimbs modified into flippers, a horizontally flattened tail, one or two nostrils at the top of the head for breathing, and no hind limbs. Cetaceans include all whales, dolphins, and porpoises. 2. The word "cetacean" is derived from the Greek word for whale, kētos. 3. Biochemical and genetic studies suggest that even-toed ungulates, especially hippopotamuses (Family Hippopotamidae), are cetaceans' closest living terrestrial relatives. (Sheep, cows, pigs, and giraffes are also examples of even-toed ungulates.) These animals and whales probably share a common ancestor. 4. Recently, some scientists suggest that since cetaceans genetically and morphologically fall within the artiodactyl clade, they should be included in the Order Cetartiodactyla with Cetacea as an unranked taxon.

  • Whales, Whaling, and Ocean Ecosystems
    FOURTEEN Killer Whales as Predators of Large Baleen Whales and Sperm Whales RANDALL R. REEVES, JOEL BERGER, AND PHILLIP J. CLAPHAM Three or four of these voracious animals do not hesitate to grapple with the largest baleen whales; and it is surprising to see those leviathans of the deep so completely paralyzed by the presence of their natural, although diminutive enemies. Frequently the terrified animal—comparatively of enormous size and superior strength—evinces no effort to escape, but lies in a helpless condition, or makes but little resistance to the assaults of its merciless destroyers.

  • Forest Service Roadless Area Conservation
    Roadless Area Conservation FEIS Chapter 4 – Consultation and Coordination CHAPTER 4. CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION Public Involvement __________________________ The Forest Service has provided notification in the Federal Register and opportunity for public comment for promulgation of the Roadless Rule. In addition to Administrative Procedures Act (APA) requirements, the Agency chose to evaluate and disclose the environmental effects of the proposed rulemaking through an EIS prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The implementing regulations for NEPA also provide opportunity for public comment after publication of a Notice of Intent in the Federal Register and again after publication and distribution of a DEIS. The Agency combined the rulemaking of APA and NEPA processes by publishing the proposed rule at the same time the DEIS was published and distributed. Public involvement for the Roadless Rule began on October 19, 1999, when the Forest Service published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare a proposed rule and an environmental impact statement that would provide direction for the future management of inventoried roadless and other unroaded areas. Publication of the Notice of Intent initiated a 60-day scoping period to identify relevant public issues and concerns. The scoping period included more than 180 listening sessions throughout the nation that drew more than 16,000 participants. More than 360,000 public responses were collected through these meetings, and by letter, electronic mail, and telefax. These comments were analyzed to help develop the Roadless Rule and DEIS. (Roadless Area Conservation Proposed Rule and DEIS, Forest Service, May 2000). A website, (roadless.fs.fed.us), was launched in November 1999 to share information about the proposal.
