| Dutch ..... Orde van ongeveer 80 soorten in 10 bestaande families. De leden van deze orde zijn bijna volledig aangepast aan het leven in het water. Ze hebben een spoelvormig (gestroomlijnd) lichaam, voorste ledematen die in flippers zijn veranderd, zeer kleine rudimentaire achterste ledematen die niet aan de ruggengraat vastzitten en verborgen liggen in het lichaam en een staart met een horizontale vin. De dieren hebben bijna geen haar. Een dikke laag blubber zorgt voor isolatie. De meeste soorten hebben een grote intelligentie. |
