i actually discovered that shortly after i commented so i'm sorry for that mistake (my bad i guess) but will this particular sets of wholpins survive? considering both dolphins and orca are social creatures so i am assuming the offspring will be a social creature too, that said will it survive on its own? or will a wild group of either dolphins or orca socialize with it considering it is a very different animal from both parents? since this one wasn't born in the wild among a group of dolphins or orca but rather in captivity? p.s i am not arguing but asking (i am just curious)

+HUDD1N I'm not too sure myself, but since this video shows the wholphin living and being "friends" with the dolphins, this might suggest it is possible for a wholphin to be with a wild group of dolphins. But since this is captivity, and animals behave differently in the wild , we might never known until we see.

I know the whole story of this wholphin as my breeding and genetics teacher worked at the park when she was conceived and born. She has a dolphin mother and a whale father. They did not intend or expect her to happen, at first they thought the mother was pregnant from one of the male dolphins that shared the space with her and the whale (which was not there long), but as she got further into her pregnancy she was getting much bigger than expected for a dolphin baby, and keep in mind her mother was small even for her breed of dolphin, and later they worked out it was the whale she had bred with.

I'm not disputing what you wrote, but keeping on calling the father a whale makes me gnash my teeth. a false killer whale is a dolphin species despite the name. And while they are quite big for dolphins, it is not really that surprising that it could happen, especially in a amusement park, although the wild nature also actually have quite a lot of hybrids between different species. Regarding the size difference, it doesn't seem to hinder dogs a lot if given the chance to mate with a dog of a different breed.

@@kidyomu89 Not exactly. you're talking about two regional variations of the same species. the dolphins isn't a species, it's a group of relatively closely related species, like for example canines (dholes, jackals, wolfs, coyotes etc). And while much closer related to one another than to (true) whales, they aren't all super close.

As for the people that are asking if Wolphins can reproduce, they can - Kekaimalu has had 3 children, one of which is still aive.

@iamaqua Kathy was one of 5 dolphins who played Flipper in the 70's TV show "Flipper". She died at a young age due to stress and unhappiness by drowning herself. It's really sad :(

Anyone else reminded of a xenomorph with its head shape? Gorgeous but kinda spooky

So to get any confusion out of the way: a false Killer and a Bottlenose are BOTH Dolphin species. In the same way a Pitbull and a Chihuahua are both dogs. This Wholphin is smaller than a False Killer but does have a darker skin and shorter snout than a Bottlenose, it's as you can tell larger than a Bottlenose too.

I know you said this 4 years ago, but just here to set the record straight. The comparison to dog breeds is NOT accurate, since all domestic dogs are the same species. False killer whales and bottlenose dolphins are certainly not the same species. Because the term “species” is generally defined as separate groups that cannot create reproductively viable offspring together, the distinction is certainly relevant here.

MrRandomgamer Your logic is reversed. Besides from these treats that they take for their relatively easy performances they also have their scheduled meal. In the wild they would have to find it by their own or else they die. That's what dolphins do in the ocean all day. They hunt. For them there's no such thing as free life and natural beauty. They have the same life as all wild animals. Natiral does not equal better.

They perform as " if I could escape" plays in the background 😞

Orca (killer whales) aren't whales. They're a type of dolphin. So if an orca and a bottlenose dolphin were to make a hybrid, would it be called a bottlenose orca?

Actually they are a hybrid of two species of dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales that despite their name are actually another species of dolphin.

I actually, pay my way through college with out taking any holidays, I just accept the fact that I cant afford to se things like this (probably someday), but in the meantime I dont want some animal to suffer for my comfort

If it's half pacifc white sided dolphin, half false killer whale, then it's not really a hybrid. Pacific white sided dolphins are small toothed whales, technically. Still though. It's definitely odd. Never seen anything quite like it.

@iamaqua actually that's true. Orcas suffer the worst in captive conditions. Sea Worlds orcas are in poor health no matter how it's dressed up. As for the suicide thing, many dolphins have been known to do that by self asphyxiation or by bashing their heads on the side of the tank. One of the dolphins who acted as Flipper did that...

It's dad a black whale

i never understood y they given them shitty names!

Im not some strong hearted animal activist, but this kinda stuff makes me feel sick. How is this more entertaining than just seeing the animals swim in their natural habitat?

i loled at all the people who are mad that the only killer whale/dolphin on earth should be set free, it was born by accident in captivity you bunch of dumbs, and what makes you think the the animal would be better off in the wild? Why don't you go release your dog or your cat into the wild, i'm sure its unhappy living with you *rolls eyes*

ABC news brought me here...it sounded way cool on tv

this is a problem with the biological species concept.

Shes beautiful! And im just saying, if the dolphins didnt want to do it they wouldnt, most animals love putting on shows and they love the rewards they get. Whats the difference between a dog doing tricks for entertainment and a dolphin doing tricks for rewards and attention? Ive seen depressed animals, and I know what it looks like. These animals are content with where they are and what they are doing. :) I understand that most animals need to be released into the wild but if they are bred in captivity they dont know how to do diddly squat, much less survive.

What's funny is that its actually NOT a wolphin. It's just a hybrid dolphin. False killer whales are part of the dolphin family. WHALES are not. They are part of the order Cetacea (all whales, dolphins, and porpoises) but they are technically still dolphins. Same with Orcas.

People who knee jerk "hate places like this" need to get some life perspective and balance.

I wonder why it's typical? ;D, Im not some crazy animal activist just picking the side less chosen. Dolphins are aware that they exist, the suffer from depression in captivity because they are unsuited to captivity born into it or not. Also, they sure as fuck don't respond well to been asked to do mundane tasks and tricks day after day! Thats not for PROTECTION or EDUCATIONAL purposes (Which is what a zoo strives to do!) thats just using them as a commodity for our amusement. Understand yet?

If they don’t let these poor animals live free and stop using them for unnecessary bullshit. The sweet escape HOW IRONIC!!
