Marine mammals are among the most interesting and threatened species on Earth. This CD-ROM gives a complete overview of all sea mammals of the world with detailed full color drawings, spectacular underwater photography, and sounds of species. It is based on FAO's Species Identification Guide, supplemented with updated information and full colour pictures. Also included are an interactive identification key and distribution maps. Marine Mammals of the World is a CD-ROM for teachers, whale and dolphin watchers, environmentalists, and ocean lovers everywhere. All text is hyperlinked: an illustrated glossary defines more than 250 scientific terms. Principle literature references for this group are included in this program.

Compared to the CD-ROM version 1.0, this version has the same content, but has updated software to make the programme compatible with the latest Mac and Windows operating systems.
