BIO 208 - Biology of Marine Mammals

This course covers the anatomy and physiology of sea otters, seals, sea lions, manatees, dolphins and whales. Topics of discussion include their systematics, anatomy, thermoregulation, osmoregulation, diving physiology, sensory biology, feeding, life history and captive husbandry. Topics are discussed from an evolutionary perspective by comparing a terrestrial archetype (such as a human or dog) with these highly derived marine mammals.
