Mammals of Madagascar (Lynx Edicions)

10,000 Birds

I may have very limited experience with dolphins and no experience with whales, but the illustrations show the entire animal in the way only divers can see it, without a second illustration of the tail shape, something whale-watchers can actually spot from a boat. Larger species, that is, excluding dolphins and whales. Highly recommended.
