Cetology

Cetology is the scientific study of cetaceans, which include whales, dolphins, and porpoises. It involves understanding their biology, behavior, ecology, and evolution. Researchers examine aspects such as how they communicate, navigate, hunt, and interact within their environments. Cetology also includes classifying different species, studying their migration patterns, and assessing their conservation status. This field combines biology, ecology, and marine science to deepen our knowledge of these intelligent marine mammals, helping us better protect and preserve them in their ocean habitats.
