Wholphin – Orca/Dolphin
The image below shows Kawali Kai. She is the offspring of the world’s only known Wholphin. The Wholphin is said to be a cross-breeding of a female Orca and a male dolphin. This is not a pairing that will occur naturally. The name suggests that the Wholphin is a whale/dolphin pairing. This is misleading as the Orcha is itself a member of the dolphin family, despite the nickname ‘killer whale.’ While the one existing Wholphin is a fascinating specimen, it is not likely that we will see many examples of this hybrid in the future.
