Evolution of cetaceans: Whales, dolphins and porpoises are descendants of land-living mammals, and remnants of their terrestrial origins can be found in the fact that they must breathe air; their fin bones look like jointed hands; and their spines movement has characteristics of a running mammal. [e]- Harbour porpoise: Add brief definition or description
