The Sea Life Park in Hawaii needs suggestions:
“The only whale-dolphin mix in captivity has given birth to a playful female calf, officials at Sea Life Park Hawaii said Thursday.
“The calf was born on December 23 to Kekaimalu, a mix of a false killer whale and an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. Park officials said they waited to announce the birth until now because of recent changes in ownership and operations at the park.
“The young as-yet unnamed wholphin is one-fourth false killer whale and three-fourths 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.”
How about Flimu?
Part Flipper and part Shamu(Sea World’s Killer Whale).
Calling it a “whale-dolphin mix” or even a “wholphin” is misleading . . . false killer whales are dolphins.
How about “Gary”
