Superfamily of mammals
Delphinoidea is the largest group of toothed whales , including 66 genera in 6 families. The largest living member of the superfamily is the killer whale , which can reach 6 tons , while the smallest is the vaquita .
Taxonomy
“The Delphinoidea has a diverse taxonomy, with over 35 mammalia taxas. This includes the species of genus Odobenocetops and Odobenus rosmarus [ 2] . While also having two types of genus, they also have individual genomes with about 9 species across the three main families of the Delphinoidea. The three main families of the whale are the Delphinidae, Monodontidae and Phocoenidae.[ 3]
