A wholphin is born!

Wow, thanks for letting us know about that. It's interesting how certain breeds or certain species can mate. But it's not fully natural, since they are in captivity, and perhaps not offered or given the opportunity to mate with others the same breed? Anyway, it's interesting. I wonder what every breeds or types of animals can breed safely, and of course, by choice. Cheers

Natural hybrids. Very cool indeed. It's like nature is experimenting on itself. I wonder what other hybrids exists out there? I just know that if you cross a Shih Tzu and a Pitbull terrier you'll get a BULLSH...oh never mind.

That's really cool-I've never heard of a wholphin before. Had I seen one of these in the aquarium, I would have thought it was just a species of whale I didn't know. Thanks for posting that!

i haven't seen this before. why would people want to mix a sweet natured animal with a shark is very confusing to me why don't they just let nature take its course. we have enough mixed up thing in our life as it is.

It is a very interesting article and the animal looks like a dolphin only a really cool dolphin. What I'm wondering is why did the babies that where born before this one die? Was it because they where in captivity or was it because they aren't supposed to be mating? And is the current baby still alive? I guess to answer my questions I could go searching on the internet but I would rather make coffee instead at the moment lol. It is very interesting that these two mammals decided to get romantic and throw caution to the wind and mate. Maybe they know something us humans don't lol.

Jen- I would not have believed it if I had not read the articles, and used the link to the False Killer Whale. Not the friendly Flipper you'd want to meet if in the ocean, that's for certain. It's amazing what curious creatures exist in our ocean, it truly is the final frontier to be explored. I'll be interested to see if scientists begin to try to explore this False Killer Whale in the wild and see if indeed their species would naturally mate with a regular species of dolphin. Thanks for sharing this article, it's definately fascinating. Namaste-Anora

hi jen, since its a high breed fish it sounds strange and hopefully will be a big one...i didn't check the link now but will check it later...since dolphin is human friendly and whale is also not a threat to humans i hope it will be a eco and human friendly mammal.hope in days to come it will serve the human beings...

That is so amazing! I would have never thought it was possible and it's nature way of creating new species I suppose. Even the number of teeth is between the whale's and the dolphin's! Thanks for posting this; I really appreciate checking out this incredible creature. A dolphin and a whale how about that? Love the wholphin!

This is mind boggling! As long as its not harming ant species I think its good to expand on such kind of breeds. Wholphin looks cool! Thanks for sharing this!
