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 .

Quote:

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, which are completely separate from Orcas, commonly called Killer Whales. It is also calle the False Pilot Whale.

It was either that or "Dale."

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!

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