Synopsis:

Identification guide to 25 species of seals, dolphins, porpoises and whales
Includes body features visible from the sea shore
Designed to be used outside: lightweight, rucksack-sized, splash-proof

Whales, dolphins and porpoises make up the mammal order of cetaceans. At sea cetaceans are usually quite distinctive. Binoculars or a telescope are helpful for identifying key species-specific features, like the hour-glass shape on the flank of common dolphin.

Close to shore, the most common sea mammals are the bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise. Sometimes also seen from land are common dolphins, Risso dolphins, common minke whales and white-beaked dolphins.

Other cetaceans (particularly the larger baleen whales, the sperm whale and the beaked whales) live in deeper waters. These cetaceans are most likely to be observed from a boat.
