What is the dental formula of whale
Dear student,
Whales belong to two different sub-orders- baleen whales which possess baleen plates and toothed whales which have teeth for attacking, capturing and chewing prey.
There is no specific dental formula for whales because some whales like Narwhal possess only one or two teeth whereas other species may have upto 240 teeth or more.
Hope this answer will help you clear your doubt.
If you have any more doubts then you can ask them here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.
