It is an armor that protects the snail's soft body against external threats, protects it against excessive water loss, provides an attachment for muscles, and accounts for calcium storage.

The pectoral fins are small, and the caudal fin is a powerful, horizontal fin with a span of up to six meters. When diving, the sperm whale extends its caudal fin above the surface of the water.

According to estimates, there are about 85.000 of them, but the actual number is between 50.000 and 120.000 species. So far, at least 15.000 extinct species have been identified in the fossil record.
