Whales with teeth are part of the Odontoceti suborder. There are many, many species of toothed whales. These include sperm whales, dolphins, orca whales (killer whales), and beaked whales. Beaked whales do not have as many teeth as other types. Toothed whales also only have one blowhole.

Whales belong to two main categories: Mysticeti (baleen whales) that don't have teeth, they filter water with baleens, and Odontoceti(toothed whales) that contain whales like the sperm whales, beaked whales, orca, dolphins, etc. As examples, Physeter macrocephalus (Sperm whale), Mesoplodon grayi( Grey's beaked whale), Orcinus orca (the killer whale), Delphinus delphis (the common short beaked dolphin).
