Wholphin

Hybrid born from mating female common bottlenose dolphin and a male false killer whale

A wholphin (portmanteau of whale and dolphin) is an extremely rare cetacean hybrid born from a mating of a female common bottlenose dolphin with a male false killer whale. The name implies a hybrid of whale and dolphin, though taxonomically, both are in the oceanic dolphin family, which is in the toothed whale clade. This type of hybrid was considered unexpected given the sometimes extreme size difference between a female common bottlenose dolphin and a male false killer whale. Wholphins have been born in captivity and have also been reported in the wild.
