Balaena (genus)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balaena est genus mammalium Cetaceorum. In lingua Latina antiqua balaena sensum latiorem habebat (confer Anglicum whale, Francogallicum baleine, etc.), de quo vide paginam quae est Balaena.
- Haec pagina genus Balaenam sensu stricto tractat. Si omnia mammalia vulgo balaenas appellata quaeris, vide Balaena.
