I saw this but originally thought a false killer whale was some weird type of whale I'd never heard of. But of course it's not any kind of whale at all. Now I'm on a dolphin witch hunt! Belugas, narwhals, pilot whales--they all look like dolphins! I have in my hand a list of 200 dolphins working for the State Department!
Seems pretty unlikely that someone would make a hoax about a dolphin interbreeding with another dolphin. I find it believable, given the liger (which I know exists).

From Brendan:
The father of Kekaimalu, the wholphin, is NOT a killer whale (orcinus
orca), he's a FALSE killer whale (pseudorca crassidens)! That doesn't
actually make a difference, since they're both dolphins, but I thought
I'd chip in.
I thought the whole thing was a hoax at first anyway--
that top picture looks suspiciously like the back dolphin image with
the false killer whale's skin photoshopped on.
There's also Waters thick with ravenous fish, which is non-dolphin-safe, but I like the headline. Thu May 29 2003 08:27 Equal Time:
Actually, here at Be we love dolphins. Here are some positive portrayals of dolphins in the media.
