I don't care if the DO exist in the wild, this is just weird. And "wholphin"? That's the best they could come up with?

"False killer whale"? I had to run a google search and found this (http://www.tmmsn.org/mmgulf/pseudorca.html) .

Although its common name is the false killer whale, Pseudorca crassidens is actually a member of the dolphin family.

Takes the edge off the whole interspecies angle...

When I was younger and visiting an umpteenth cousin n times removed in Iowa, said cousin was raising a Zony -- Zebra/Pony cross. It looked kind of like an orange zebra.

Of course Mules are Donkey/Horse cross breeds. Or is it other way around?

Here is more information on False Killer Whales (http://www.nsrl.ttu.edu/tmot1/pseucras.htm), which are completely separate from Orcas, commonly called Killer Whales. It is also calle the False Pilot Whale (http://www.cetacea.org/fkiller.htm).

Of course Mules are Donkey/Horse cross breeds. Or is it other way around?Breeding a male donkey to a female horse results in a mule; breeding a male horse to a female donkey produces a hinny. Mules and hinnys are almost always sterile.

I know this as my mom has had several mules.

And GD: no comments about my mom's ass. You've already used that one! :D

So, the real question is, do they now name her "Flimu," or "Shapper?"

You'd think someone would at least decide whether to spell it "wolphin" or "wholphin."

I dunno, but sometimes I'm disappointed when I have sex with false profits....
