So, I am the self-proclaimed I-Mockery marine mammal expert. My specialty is the group of animals known as cetaceans. For those who don't know, whales, dolphins and porpoises fall under the category of cetaceans. Here, I give you some pictures of strange species of cetacean and anomalies that you may not have known existed.
The northern bottlenose whale- this guy was slaughtered by some guy from Norway and his slimy crew.

Chimo, the partially albino killer whale. She was captured and sent to Sealand Victoria in the 70's. She succumbed to a rare disorder known as Chediak-Higashi syndrome, which caused her partial albinism.

A finless porpoise, also looks like a baby beluga, except it's enangered.

The very ugly, extremely endangered Ganges River dolphin, also known as the Susu. It is nearly blind, and swims on it's side feeling for fish. It is a very ancient and primitive species. It has teeth like a freshwater crocodile.

This is QiQi (Pronounced Chee Chee). He lived in a Chinese aquarium for many years. He was a Yangtze River dolphin, or baiji. This is one of the most endangered cetaceans in the world.
