Meet the Wolphins

Who’da thunk it.

The world’s only known wholphin is now a mommy.

Kekaimalu – who is believed to be the only half false-killer whale half Atlantic-bottlenose dolphin --gave birth to a calf last December.

Sea Life Park didn’t say anything about the birth until now, wanting to make sure both mom and baby were going to be OK.

:eek:

If you’ve got cable, watch Countdown on M$NBC when they rerun it in about 2 hours. Or you can see old pictures of one of them here.

Was it artificial insemination, or a case of interspecies love?

Hot cetacean love, baby. Hot cetacean love.

Is there any other kind?

I’ve seen the mother several times. Her look was never shocking enough for me to notice too much. Apparantly the baby (75% dolphin) just looks like a really big dolphin.

Well they had a false killer whale and a dolphin in the same tank and figured nothing would happen. They were very shocked when it did. I’m guessing this time they wanted to get her laid.

I suppose that they’ll only mate the descendants with doplhins now.

Well, why should bipeds have all the fun?
