Oh i found this on a site. Very Interesting indeed.

 

First Wholphin Born in Captivity

On Dec. 23rd Kekaimalu, a mix of a false killer whale and a bottlenose dolphin, gave birth to a healthy female calf at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii. The birth has not been reported before now due to recent changes in ownership and operations.

The mother, Kekaimalu, was born from a surprise mating between a false killer whale and a bottle nose dolphin. The father is an Atlantic bottle nose dolphin named Mikioi who doesn't seem to know what's going on yet.

Kekaimalu has had two other calves, one lived for nine years and the other died a few days after birth. The calf, who is still unnamed, has skin that is an equal blend of light gray dolphin colouring and the black colouring of the false killer whale.

Yes, that's an odd hybrid - wonder if the cute little (big?) thing is fertile.

 

Reminds me of a book ... tide... something with tide in the title and dolphins on a spaceship named 'Streaker'. There was this agressive boatsman- part killer whale and part bottlenosed dolphin. But of corse it's the title I can't remember!

Yes!! A rather good book, I think. Original, nontheless.

what is ur avatar about oma?

Well, it's from a danish satirical/waco - TV-show called "wulffmorgenthaler". It's... too far out to describe.

 

In the Pic you see Wulff on the left and on the right you see Dolph, the facist hippopotamus holding a nunchacku consisting of two sausages - while most likely exclaiming: "you are all 100% asholes,yes sir!".

 

It's whacked - I love it. :D

 

EDIT: Sorry for straying off-topic.
