Generally toothed whales are more social because they are usually found in groups (pods).
Narwals, belugas, orcas, dolphins and porpoises are all toothed whales who live in pods and they are all very social animals. Usually their pods consist of family members although others can be adopted into a pod for breeding purposes.
Baleen whales are usually found alone or in very small groups.
