Wound repair in beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, was studied by examining the sequence and timing of regenerative changes in skin incisions. Soon after the epidermis is breached, exposed cells not normally in contact with seawater begin to degenerate. Within 2 d, the degenerating layer becomes thickened to form a barrier protecting underlying tissue. This layer gradually sloughs as advancing epidermal cells fill the breach. Wound repair is complete in 30–40 d, five times longer than in the bottlenosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus. Although several factors may be involved, we suggest that the difference in timing appears to relate directly to the greater thickness of epidermis in the whales.

It is confirmed that one growth layer consisting of one opaque and one translucent zone is laid down annually in the dentine of the teeth of bottlenosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), allowing absolute age determination, although the seasonal sequence of dentine deposition is not yet clear. On this basis females from northeast Florida were found to mature at about 12 years and males at 13 years, both sexes living to about 25 years of age. Females accumulated up to 14 corpora albicantia in the ovaries, indicating an accumulation rate of about one per annum. Birth occurred at 100-cm length. Males and females matured at about 245- and 235-cm length, respectively, and attained asymptotic lengths of about 270 and 250 cm.
