"Shamu"
editThere is a photo in the In captivity section of the article that is captioned with "Shamu in 2009, with a collapsed dorsal fin."
The Orca, Shamu, died in 1971, and while the Orca in the photo is participating in a "Shamu Show" it is most definitely not Shamu, now what Orca is in the photo? I'm not sure, but I can't edit the article to correct it. CoasterDave (talk) 08:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- You may find help at Shamu (SeaWorld show). - UtherSRG (talk) 12:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean, I'm just correcting the article in here because the "Dolphin" page is protected, I cant edit it CoasterDave (talk) 23:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I understand. The article I pointed at may help you identify the orca displayed. When you have, please use {{edit requested}} to make your request. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I wish to edit the Integumentary system section in the anatomy information. There are mistakes regarding the nature of Cetacea. Cetaceans are not a species, but an Infraorder of animals. Thedolphinqueen (talk) 01:27, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have changed "species" to "infraorder", and made a wikilink. Cheers, Mgnbar (talk) 02:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC).

Please change species in "The epidermis of this species..." in the Integumentary system in the anatomy section to Infraorder, as Cetaceans are not once species. Thedolphinqueen (talk) 03:37, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 04:06, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Their respiratory physiology and morphology differ from terrestrial mammals to adapt to the aquatic environment. According to research, the sphincter system, abundant elastic fiber tissue, isolated side of the alveoli of the double hairy vascular bed, and airway strengthening are all examples of how the dolphin trachea and lung tissue structure have adapted to marine life.
