The majority of small tooth whales are called dolphins.  They are mammals of the order Cetacea and the families Plantanistidae and Delphinidae and include about 50 species.  All have a beak like snout and sharp, conical teeth.  The term porpoise is sometimes applied to many of the same species, but porpoises, are members of the family Phocaenidae and have a blunt snout and spade or chisel shaped teeth.  The dolphin fish, is neither a dolphin nor a porpoise.  It is a sport fish related to the mackerels.

Mammals: Dolphin\nRange: all the oceans of the world\nHabitat: some are mainly coastal but other spend their lives far at sea\n\nIt’s all relative\nYou might not realize that dolphins are closely related to whales. The scientific order, called Cetacea, includes dolphins, whales, and porpoises. The dolphin family Delphinidae has 36 species in all. It can get confusing at times, because some members of the dolphin family have the word "whale" in their common name. In fact, the largest dolphin is the killer whale! Depending on the species, dolphins range in color from white, pearl, and pink to darker shades of brown, gray, blue, and black.\n\nRange\nDolphins can be found in virtually all the seas and oceans of the world.  Some species are sharply restricted, but many, like the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, or the bottle nose dolphin, are found worldwide.  Several species are found in fresh water, notably the Ganges River dolphin, Platanista gangetica; the rivers of South America are the home of the long-snouted dolphin, Inia geoffrensis, and the small, graceful Sotalia fluviatilis, occasionally seen as far as 1,553 miles up the Amazon River.\n\nDolphins are quite abundant in some areas of the world.  Off the coast of Japan, for example, populations of the white-sided dolphin, are estimated at 30,000 to 50,000 individuals.  In many species, schools of up to 1,000 travel together, while some species, such as the bottle-nose dolphin, tend to be found in smaller groups of less than 100. \n\nRANGE:\nMost species live in tropical and temperate oceans throughout the world. Five species live in rivers.\n\nHABITAT:\nAll but five of the 34 dolphin species live in tropical and temperate oceans. Five species that live in rivers: baiji (Chinese River dolphin), boto (Amazon River dolphin), franciscana (La Plata River dolphin), Ganges River dolphin and Indus River dolphin.\n\nCHECK THIS:\n32 Dolphin Species\nhttp://www.dolphin-isl-greenware.org/marine_lab/blue_hangar/egdolfaq.htm#faq2\n\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/themes/dolphins.shtml

Sheep is a good word. But I prefer to call them penguins, they waddle (must be all those pot lucks they have at church).

It could be a Spanish word. But its a company called ChamuCo. Its a take off on the whale named Shamu at Sea World, formerly of The Miami Seaquarium. ChamuCo markets, sells and manufactures "whale" size merchandise and exports world-wide... Some examples are size 30 shoes, clothing for people that have to be extracted from thier homes when they become too large to pass through the front door and at times too large to exit a two car garage door. Size 74 waist pants, chairs that can accomodate and hold a 750 pound person or medium size elephant, etc.

There are several Orca (Killer) Whale pods to be found around the area, such as the K pod, L pod, and J pod. The K pod and the L pod leave the sound during the winter, and usually return around late May or early June, however this year at the beginning of March, the two orca pods made a surprise late-winter appearance in Puget Sound. A March appearance of L pod has never been reported, and some researchers say it is further evidence of strange and dangerous conditions in the Pacific Ocean. Only the J pod can be expected to be found in and out of the Puget Sound throughout winter.\n\nThese pods have been studies for close to 30 years. The members of the pod are all closely related to one another, and the adult males remain with their family for life. Over 50 members make up the K and L pods.\n\nOver the years, the mortality rates of the whales have increased. The population of salmon in their home waters has decreased due to habitat destruction, overfishing, and damming. \n\nPuget Sound's orcas were labeled as endangered as of February 2006.\n\nHope this helps!

The narwhal has the most northerly range of any mammal, among icefields and floes of Arctic waters. Fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and other prey are probably sucked into the mouth by the narwhal's powerful lips and tongue. Like belugas - indeed, often with them - narwhals can sometimes form large schools of thousands, which may be segregated by age and sex. They communicate with a wide variety of sounds including humlike tones which may be for individual recognition. \nThe narwhal's tusk grows with age, through the upper lips, spiraling clockwise, to reach 9 3/4 ft. long. It may be a swordlike weapon to "fence" rival males at breeding time. Any use in feeding seems unlikely, since most females lack tusks, but survive well. An occasional male has 2 tusks, or a female has one. \nThe narwhal stays year round in the Arctic Ocean and is locally common.

Sirenia is an order of fuaquatic, herbivorous mammals that live in rivers, estuaries and coastal marine waters. Commonly called manatees, dugongs, or seacows, they have significant aquatic adaptations: forelimbs have changed into arms used for steering, the tail has changed into a paddle used for propulsion and the hindlimbs (legs) are  two small remnant bones.

elephant seal \n\n \nScientific classification \nKingdom: Animalia \nPhylum: Chordata \nClass: Mammalia \nOrder: Carnivora \nFamily: Phocidae \nGenus: Mirounga \n \nSpecies \nM. leonina\nM. angustirostris\n \nThere are two species of elephant seal. They are the sole members of the genus Mirounga of the family Phocidae or "true seals".\n\nThe species are the Northern Elephant Seal, Mirounga angustirostris, and the Southern Elephant Seal, M. leonina. Both species were hunted nearly to extinction by the end of the nineteenth century but numbers have since recovered. The Southern Elephant Seal is somewhat the bigger of the two.\n\nThe elephant seals get their name from their great size and the fact that the adult males have a large proboscis, which is used in making extraordinarily loud roaring noises, especially during the mating season. Elephant seals are also quite large, as the largest known bull elephant seal was 22 feet (6.7 m) in length and weighed 7,500 lb (3,400 kg). This makes them indeed the largest members of the order Carnivora that ever lived

Sea-Monkeys are a hybrid of Artemia salina, a species of brine shrimp. These are a type of fairy shrimp -- not true shrimp, but a branchiopod. The term Sea-Monkeys (sometimes unhyphenated) is a trademark used to sell them as a novelty gift. They originate in salt lakes and salt evaporation flats.
