齒鯨
在「鯨」的世界裏，可以找到鬚鯨跟齒鯨，平常在水族館或主題樂園遇見的海豚也是齒鯨之一喔！只要口腔中可以找到牙齒的鯨，就是齒鯨了！以前的討海人很厲害，都是用船的大小來決定遇見的到底是「海豬仔」或「海翁」，「海豬仔」就是大家所說的海豚；「海翁」就是大家印象中的鯨。作為明星鯨的「虎鯨」原來在討海人眼中都只是「海豬仔」而已。基於海豚的體型較小，大部分的圈養環境都希望可以飼養到不同的明星物種，但鯨豚們的家是在大海，請到大海探訪他們，別再支持從大海綁架海豚的機構喔！
Toothed Whales
In the world of whales, we can find Baleen Whales and Toothed Whales. Dolphins we usually meet in aquariums or theme parks are also a member of the Tooth Whales! Their name is so characteristic as it literally refers to whales with teeth. In the past, seamen usually used the relative size of boats to decide whether they met a dolphin or a whale. In their perspective, an Orca or what we usually called a killer whale, is also only a dolphin as they are not big enough. Due to the relatively small body size of dolphins, a lot of organizations would like to hold them in a captive environment for commercial purposes. Please do not forget that they belong to the natural environment and you can always visit them in the ocean to see their happy faces. Stop supporting the practice of kidnapping dolphins from their real home.
