ishamaria Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 A Cetacean is a family of (how can I put this) mammals that include whales, porpoises and dolphins of any speices. In this family there are about eighty living species. A cetacean that can live up to 30 years is I think a Common Dolphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Someone already answered this, but I'll give it a shot just for the heck of it. Cetacean is the category of aquatic mammals. This includes dolphins, whales, and porpoises. I'm thinking there are roughly eighty-five or so species, but I'm not entirely sure. Something around that number. As for the species that can live up to thirty or more years, I am guessing it to be the Bottlenose Dolphin. I am a little uncertain on this one, though. I've actually skimmed a lesson on this in school, so I should hopefully have my facts straight. xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hint: You guys are on the right track; however, you still haven't gotten the animal I'm talking about :). Keep trying. Please post a new message to answer the question correctly. That way I can keep track on who answered it right first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Here is my edited version then: Cetacean is the category of aquatic mammals. This includes dolphins, whales, and porpoises. I'm thinking there are roughly eighty-five or so species, but I'm not entirely sure. Something around that number. Orcas (Killer Whales) seem like a plausible choice for me. They eat squid and live around 30 or so years. Not certain however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 What is a Cetacean? A cetacean is a marine mammal, this includes porpoises, dolphins, and whales. They are carnivorous and have no hind fins. How many species are there? There is said to be about 76 species of cetaceans, composed of about 66 species of toothed whales and 10 species of baleen whales. What is the name of a Cetacean that can live up to 30 years? Hint: they eat Squids. The Delphinapterus leucas or better known as the beluga whale lives about 25-30 years and feed on squid. EDIT: How about... number 7? Thanks Ellie!

Meeptroid Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Nice entry, Isabel. Yours looks a lot more organized than mine at least. xP I should have went with the beluga whale. Seems more of the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Isabel got the right answer. Great job everyone! You were all very close. They say there are AROUND 88 species (generally) of Cetaceans so any of those answers are right. I was thinking of the Beluga Whale. Dolphins and Orcas actually live longer than 30 years. Dolphins live 40 years, but some Scientists have said Dolphins live about 25 years in the water. They're not entirely sure, though. The key of the answer was actually the Cetacean that eats Squids. The years they live are a debate because, they're not really accurate. Isabel pick a number between 1-26 and edit your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOOM Bringer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I also missed the question, although unlike you I didn't have a clue as to what the answer was :P Good question though Ellie, lets hope I catch the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Subject: Math Level: Easy Answer: Short or Long.

That way I can keep track of who answers first. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 yay math! my favorite subject! This one took a long time (for me anyways) I got 47, 53, 59, and 61 Those DO add up to 220, by the way ;) EDIT : I pick Number 4. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm going to post the right answer in a few. I want to see if anyone wants to add any answers or any facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeptroid Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hang in there for a second, Ellie. I might post my answer in a minute or so. I gotta do some double checking. Update: Zac seems to be correct. Prime numbers have always been a burden with me (For reasons unknown) so I really have no facts to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loc Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The first Olympics were started in about 770 B.C. in Ancient Athens, Greece, though there they were not only athletic games there was also, music, oratory, and theater performance. These contests were held in honor of Zeus, and it was thought all wars would stop during them. Edit:I pick #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
