odontocetes

All odontocetes also have the ability to echolocate, detecting objects in their underwater environment using the echoes of a sound, much like sonar.

As discussed above, I have noted on several occasions that large long-necked pinnipeds better explain sightings of long-necked aquatic cryptids than do hypothetical extant plesiosaurs, and I have also noted that long-bodied delphinidans or other odontocetes might explain some sightings of serpentine aquatic cryptids (Naish 2000, 2001a, 2003a).

Sahni & Mishra (1972) regarded their material as representing two new species of Protocetus, P. sloani and P. harudiensis, the new taxon Indocetus ramani, and two new basal odontocetes, Andrewsiphius kutchensis and A. minor.

However, this referral was not defensible as, like archaeocetes and unlike odontocetes, Andrewsiphius had a primitive style of tooth count, relatively deep lower jaws, and intermittent gaps between the teeth.

This means that it might provide some clue as to what the common ancestor of the odontocetes and mysticetes was like, which in turn might contain some hint as to what subgroup of archaeocetes the first members of the Neoceti evolved from.

The Neoceti can be split into two subgroups, the odontocetes (toothed whales, such as orcas and porpoises) and the mysticetes (baleen whales), with

Nevertheless, a subset of delphinid odontocetes are significantly more highly encephalized than the most highly encephalized anthropoid primates and narrow the gap in encephalization between humans and nonhumans substantially.
