Suborder: Mysticeti
The cetacea order is classified into two suborders: Odontoceti (toothed whales) and Mysticeti (baleen whales). Odontoceti includes dolphins, porpoises, and sperm whales, which have teeth for hunting. Mysticeti includes species like humpback and blue whales, which have baleen plates to filter feed.
No, they are certainly not. Blue whales and killer whales both belong to the same order: Cetacea, the order of the whales. Though that's where the liking stops. Because Killer whales belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales) and Blue whales belong to the suborder Mysticeti (baleen whales).
Baleen whales, or Mysticeti. There are fifteen species, not two.

Order Cetacea is organized into two suborders: Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales). Mysticeti includes whales that filter feed using baleen plates, while Odontoceti includes whales with teeth for hunting. Each suborder further divides into families, genera, and species based on specific anatomical and genetic characteristics.
