This infographic introduces suckling behaviour in cetaceans, outlines patterns in the behaviour and the type of habitat observed to be used by mother-calf pairs. In specific, the differences between suckling/nursing behaviour in baleen whales and toothed whales are compared. The advantages of preferred habitat use are outlined and the necessity of management of these habitats for conservation efforts is explained.
