2. Whale and Dolphin

It’s not a mermaid, but it is cute.

Half false killer whale, half bottlenose dolphin, a wholphin has the skin of a whale and the face of a dolphin. The first of this species was born in 1981 in Tokyo, unfortunately he died in less than a year.

Even though most of the wholphins are born in captivity they can also be found in the wild.  People say hybrids usually occur when there is a decline in the specie’s population.

Fun fact: The term wholphin was first used in 1985 in Hawaii when, for the first time in the U.S. the species mated. The offspring was 400 pounds.
