Dear Marine Mammal Specialists, 

I'm working on illustrating layers of the Orca whale, Orcinus orca for a marine 
science center. We have the skeletal layer but I'm missing images of the 
internal organs and muscle layers. Would anyone know of references or resources 
containing images of the internal anatomy of an Orca Whale? 

I do have references for the internal anatomy and muscle layers of the 
Bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus. Possibly I can adapt them for the Orca. 
Would anyone care to weigh in on specific differences between the internal 
anatomy and muscles of Orcinus orca and Tursiops truncatus? 

Thank you for any assistance or information you may provide. 

Please send information to my email at [email protected]. 

Kind regards,
