HONOLULU, Hawaii -- The only whale-dolphin mix in captivity has given birth to a playful female calf. Officials at Sea Life Park Hawaii said on Thursday, that the calf was born on December 23 to Kekaimalu, a mix of a false killer whale and an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. Her slick skin is an even blend of a dolphin's light gray and the black coloring of a false killer whale. She is jumbo-sized compared with purebred dolphins, and is already the size of a one-year-old bottlenose.
Although false killer whales and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are different species, they are classified within the same family by scientists. "They are not that far apart in terms of taxonomy," said Louis Herman, a leading expert in the study of marine mammals.
There have been reports of wholphins in the wild, he said.
Kekaimalu, whose name means "from the peaceful ocean," was born 19 years ago after a surprise coupling between a 14-foot, 2,000-pound false killer whale and a 6-foot, 400-pound dolphin. The animals were the leads in the park's popular tourist water show, featured in the Adam Sandler movie "50 First Dates." -- CNN
