The wholphin (sometimes spelled wolphin) is the result of crossbreeding between a male false killer whale and a female bottlenose dolphin. The label "wholphin" combines the names of both parent species.
Although there have been only a few confirmed wholphins in existence, they have attracted attention for their rarity and hybrid nature. They're not something you'll see every day in the wild, and their survival in natural habitats is still a bit of a mystery.
