Cetaceans are the largest group of mammals that transitioned from land to sea. Their long evolutionary history produced a wide variety of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, characterized by a number of different types of predation and ecological niches.

Although all Phocidae, or true seals, have one common ancestor, the two living subfamilies are currently biogeographically separated. Members of the subfamily Phocinae are often dubbed “northern seals” while the Monachinae are referred to as “southern seals.”
