Cetology is a science, which studies eight species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises. It is a branch of marine mammal science and focuses on these larger animals. The study of cetaceans can pose many difficulties as cetaceans spend only 10% of their time on the surface. They also do not leave tracks that can be followed. Numerous times this science consists mainly of watching and waiting.
