A stunning information book for young readers exploring Australia's whales and dolphins, from Australian Geographic

Dive in and discover the underwater world of Australia’s amazing whales and dolphins. Australia is blessed with an abundance of riches when it comes to the marine mammals that grace our coastline or pass through our waters. Forty-five cetacean species – whales, dolphins and porpoises – have been recorded around Australia, more than half the world’s species. 

With detailed illustrations of more than 45 cetacean species, you’ll learn about the enormous blue whale, the killer whale, the orca and the humpback whale, as well as introducing young readers to more exotic species such as the spectacled porpoise and the Curviers beaked whale.
