Synonyma

* Mystacoceti

Lamina balaenarum adiunctarum in capillis decrescunt.

The heart of a blue whale with a person standing next to it. It appears to be roughly half the size of the person when measured across, and the person is likely five foot five to five foot seven — Cor *Balaenopterae musculus* et homo.

Mysticeti sunt parvordo mammalium marinorum infraordinis Cetaceorum, late distributus variusque carnivororum grex. Familias Balaenidarum, Balaenopteridarum, Cetotheriidarum, et Eschrichtiidarum comprehendunt. Sunt quindecim Mysticetorum species vivae. Mysticeti ab odontocetis abhinc annorum 34 milliones fere deflexerunt.

Magnitudine variant a 6 metra et 3000 kg ponderis (Caperea marginata) ad 31 metra et 190 megatonnae ponderis (Balaenoptera musculus), maximum animal notum quod umquam existit.^[1]^[2]
