Talk:Marine mammal/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Rating: start-class

This article gives a pretty superficial overview of Marine Mammals as a body of research or study. For example, it seems that a comparison of marine mammals to other mammals is of more interest than one that compared it with other marine life. Live births, fur and breathing air are all de facto mammal features that probably don't need more than one sentence as a reminder to the reader. The number and variety of unique adaptations for surviving in the aquatic environment, however, are truly fascinating. Also, there is so incredibly much more to marine mammal research than disease, and so many more research institutions worldwide than the Marine Mammal Center. As it stands, the article is almost better off without the Research section entirely - until it gets expanded. Perhaps I'll come back later and contribute more content. Cheers!
