What is a Wholphin?

Half Whale, Half Dolphin

Yes, there really are Wolphins, but only a few of them, so far as we know.

A Wholphin is the offspring of a False Killer Whale (actually a species of dolphin) and a Bottlenose Dolphin. A few have been spotted in the wild. So, there is some interbreeding going on naturally.

In 1985, one was born at Sea Life Park in Hawaii. She was an unexpected surprise to the aquarium keepers there, who certainly didn't expect her mom and dad to actually become anyone's mom and dad together. They named her Kekaimalu.

And Kekaimalu even had a daughter of her own, named Pohaikealoha.

Did You Know?

Dolphins are NOT fish.
They are marine mammals.

Like earth bound mammals, they breathe air, and give birth to live young.

Whales are Marine Mammals, too

Their Tail Fins are Called Flukes

Like Dolphins, Whales are Marine Mammals, not fish.

Their split tail fins, which are called flukes (technically, each side is a fluke) are used to propel them through the water. The tails of marine mammals are horizontal with respect to the rest of their bodies. Tail fins of fishes, on the other hand, are set vertically.
