While, on the other hand, the produced rostral form of the snout, the long symphysis, and the low coronary process of the mandible are approximations to the cetacean form of those parts.
It was used to destroy the rigging as well as do execution amongst men.
The gray gurnard (Trigla gurnardus), so called on account of the creaking noise it makes after being taken.
But by far the most wonderful of all Cetacean relics was the almost complete vast skeleton of an extinct monster, found in the year 1842, on the plantation of Judge Creagh, in Alabama.
And though none of them precisely answer to any known species of the present time, they are yet sufficiently akin to them in general respects, to justify their taking ranks as Cetacean fossils.
In plain prose, here are four whales as well known to the students of Cetacean History as Marius or Sylla to the classic scholar.
By nature, this cetacean prefers a cold climate to a warm one.
The cow whale brings forth young each year, but triplets or even twins are unknown in the cetacean family.
A chain from the shore is next wound round his tail, a signal given the engineer to start the machinery, and the great cetacean is slowly drawn up a slipway out of the water.
It was therefore probable that the cetacean would not be able to extricate itself easily, at any rate it was best to hasten, so as to cut off its retreat if necessary.
The tail was of the Cetacean pattern, and thus like that of Halicore.
It appears that in this Cetacean the two teeth corresponding to each other of the two dentitions may fuse into a single tooth, which has in consequence a double crown.
This represents one type of the Cetacean stomach, which seems to be found in all Whales except the Ziphioids.
Rudimentary nails have been found upon the Cetacean hand; but in no case are they functionally developed.
In non-Cetacean mammals these ridges vary in depth, and are arranged as a rule transversely, but with an oblique inclination.
Accompanying these generalised Cetacean characters are some which show that the animal was too specialised to be the direct ancestor of any existing forms.
The scapula is remarkable for the fact that it is concave on the outer and convex on the inner surface; otherwise it is quite typically Cetacean in form.
There are as many as seventeen or eighteen dorsal vertebrae, the largest number in any Cetacean as far as is known.
The general outline of this Cetacean is more clumsy than that of Balaenoptera.
I think that Gray’s cetacean answers to the Delphinus tacuschi of Natterer; but Prof.
Blainville as occupying the cutaneous follicles of Delphinus Dalei, which cetacean is a synonym of Micropteron sowerbiensis.
The whole subject of cetacean Echinorhynchi requires revision, and would well repay special investigation.
It is unfortunate that so few of the cetacean helminths find their way into the hands of persons competent to decide upon their true character.
Natterer calls this cetacean the tacuschi, and in a letter to Diesing names the species Delphinus tacuschi, in order to distinguish it from the D.
Like the Cyami or true whale-lice, these parasitic cirrhipeds are so numerous that almost every cetacean host may be said to carry its own species of louse and its own species of barnacle.
The apparently healthy cetaceanwas shot by Mr Jardine Murray in the Firth of Forth, in April, 1855.
This cetacean was obtained on the coast of the island of Rugen, in the Baltic.
The same cetacean host not only yielded these new cestodes and flukes, but also great numbers of the well-known strongyloid lung-worms, called Prosthecosacter inflexus and P.
To begin with, the cetacean tongue has the most original appearance possible.
This is a disadvantage to the cetacean in his fish life; nevertheless, of all the mammals (as may easily be imagined) he is the one who can remain longest under the water.
As though stricken with panic, and bent on suicide, the cetacean fled onward until opposite the huge cliff on the west shore of the bay known as Thurston's Rocks, and then it turned and ran directly inshore.
The cetacean turned and ran obliquely for the shore, and hoping to yet secure the monster, Budd refrained from cutting the rope.
Before he had accomplished this, however, the cetacean had dashed headlong upon the cliff, and now tossed helplessly upon the surface of the water.
The thrust that Budd had given it just before his involuntary bath had evidently been a fatal one, for the water all about the cetaceanwas dyed with blood, and though the monster struggled, it was but feebly.
The cetacean had cleared itself from the trap and was going down the bay with the boat in tow.
Carrying out his thought, he made the half-hitch about the harpoon with the slackened rope; then he seized hold of the protruding weapon and pressed it down into the motionless body of the cetacean with all his strength.
Judd, springing to his feet, and looking at the huge cetacean that had raised his head above the surface of the water, and within the inclosure of the seine.
Defn: Any small cetacean of the genus Phocæna, especially P.
Defn: Of, pertaining to, or resembling, a cetacean of the genus Xiphius or family Xiphiidæ.
They are among the smaller members of the cetacean order, none exceeding 10 ft.
Scolopendra cetacea, regarded as a Cetaceanand figured with a Cetacean blow-hole.
It was therefore probable that the cetacean would not be able to extricate itself easily; at any rate it was best to hasten, so as to cut off its retreat if necessary.
Bayle appears to have furnished the best idea of the Ichthyosaurus by describing it as the Whale of the Saurians--the Cetacean of the primitive seas.
Cuvier has established, among the cetacean fossils, a particular genus, which he designates under the name of Ziphius.
With the larynx thus retained bolt upright, and the blow-hole being meanwhile compressed or closed, the cetacean is enabled to swallow food under water without the latter entering the lungs.
The peculiarity of this cetacean is the preponderance of the cranial over the rostral part, more so, as Professor Owen remarks, than in any other species.
National Museum, various regional museums, and other researchers actively collecting cetacean materials for display and study in the implementation of their stranded animal salvage programs.
Appendix E lists institutions to be contacted in the event of a cetaceanstranding or for information.
These institutions are the ones that come to mind as having taken an active interest in cetacean strandings in the recent past.
The discussion is intended to make the reader aware of the value of information on natural or man-made marks in studies of cetacean natural history.
Description Guiana dolphins are the second smallestcetacean species in the western North Atlantic, reaching a maximum length of only about 5.
Whatever their causes, however, cetacean strandings usually attract crowds and elicit much public interest and sympathy.
Despite deficiencies in the first effort and the inherent difficulties of positively identifying many of the cetacean species at sea, the results obtained from the programs have been encouraging.
May Be Confused With Narwhals are so different in coloration from the only medium-sized cetacean which shares its range and habitat--the beluga--that the two are highly unlikely to be confused.
Data obtained in this manner may be used as the foundation of estimates of cetacean populations, estimates which are extremely difficult to obtain by any other method.
May Be Confused With Because of their limited range and specialized habitats, Guiana dolphins are unlikely to be confused with any other cetacean species except perhaps Atlantic bottlenosed dolphins (p.
In the long black body, moving between wind and water, did they not see some formidable cetacean that they regarded with suspicion?
The collision of the frigate with the cetacean had occurred about eleven o'clock in the evening before.
Well, Ned," said I, "is it possible that you are not convinced of the existence of this cetacean that we are following?
But just as he was going to strike, the cetacean stole away with a rapidity that could not be estimated at less than thirty miles an hour, and even during our maximum of speed, it bullied the frigate, going round and round it.
And you would not be sorry to go back, for one day, to your trade of a fisherman and to add this cetacean to the list of those you have already killed?
The place could not have been picked out with greater accuracy if the whaler had known the exact spot where the big cetacean was going to appear.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cetacean" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
