It was the other way around. Also, the whale (false killer whale in this cross) is technically a dolphin. Same for killer whales, pilot whales, melon-headed whales, etc.
i actually discovered that shortly after i commented so i'm sorry for that mistake (my bad i guess) but will this particular sets of wholpins survive? considering both dolphins and orca are social creatures so i am assuming the offspring will be a social creature too, that said will it survive on its own? or will a wild group of either dolphins or orca socialize with it considering it is a very different animal from both parents? since this one wasn't born in the wild among a group of dolphins or orca but rather in captivity? p.s i am not arguing but asking (i am just curious)
+HUDD1N I'm not too sure myself, but since this video shows the wholphin living and being "friends" with the dolphins, this might suggest it is possible for a wholphin to be with a wild group of dolphins. But since this is captivity, and animals behave differently in the wild , we might never known until we see.
I know the whole story of this wholphin as my breeding and genetics teacher worked at the park when she was conceived and born. She has a dolphin mother and a whale father. They did not intend or expect her to happen, at first they thought the mother was pregnant from one of the male dolphins that shared the space with her and the whale (which was not there long), but as she got further into her pregnancy she was getting much bigger than expected for a dolphin baby, and keep in mind her mother was small even for her breed of dolphin, and later they worked out it was the whale she had bred with.
I'm not disputing what you wrote, but keeping on calling the father a whale makes me gnash my teeth. a false killer whale is a dolphin species despite the name. And while they are quite big for dolphins, it is not really that surprising that it could happen, especially in a amusement park, although the wild nature also actually have quite a lot of hybrids between different species. Regarding the size difference, it doesn't seem to hinder dogs a lot if given the chance to mate with a dog of a different breed.
@@kidyomu89 Not exactly. you're talking about two regional variations of the same species. the dolphins isn't a species, it's a group of relatively closely related species, like for example canines (dholes, jackals, wolfs, coyotes etc). And while much closer related to one another than to (true) whales, they aren't all super close.
So to get any confusion out of the way: a false Killer and a Bottlenose are BOTH Dolphin species. In the same way a Pitbull and a Chihuahua are both dogs. This Wholphin is smaller than a False Killer but does have a darker skin and shorter snout than a Bottlenose, it's as you can tell larger than a Bottlenose too.
I know you said this 4 years ago, but just here to set the record straight. The comparison to dog breeds is NOT accurate, since all domestic dogs are the same species. False killer whales and bottlenose dolphins are certainly not the same species. Because the term “species” is generally defined as separate groups that cannot create reproductively viable offspring together, the distinction is certainly relevant here.
@iamaqua Kathy was one of 5 dolphins who played Flipper in the 70's TV show "Flipper". She died at a young age due to stress and unhappiness by drowning herself. It's really sad :(
I think they oredy were bred in the wild but...u know soetimes rare animals like this must be captured so they live longer...rite?...yah dun lose faith in humanity
You know this little one was an accident right? That's one of the things about animals in captivity you have so many animals of the same species but the same genus chances are your gonna have hybrids. their accidents but their still living things so why not love them? Its just one of those things that comes with the conservation effort. Plus should i say that hybrids have occurred in the wild as well and some live to be successful adults. Look up the Pizzly and you'll see.
Conservation? There is no conservation in what happens in marine parks like this...they don't care about conservation they care about money that's it. If you haven't done so watch 'The Cove' and 'Blackfish' and open your eyes to these hell holes....
Stolen_Sausage cetaceans have shorter lifespans when kept in captivity. You can't just accept what you want to believe as truth, you need to do your research to get the facts.
Orca (killer whales) aren't whales. They're a type of dolphin. So if an orca and a bottlenose dolphin were to make a hybrid, would it be called a bottlenose orca?
Rebecca Michael Kekaimalu isn’t part orca, she’s part False Killer Whale. A little known fact is that while all dolphins are whales, not all whales are dolphins. Sorta like how all retrievers are dogs but not all dogs are retrievers.
I watched this show at Sea Life Park in Hawaii not so long in December 2015, a month ago. It's really cool, but I see that these dolphins have been forced to do tricks for humans since 2008. This is just like Seaworld...... ;(
+Jane Wu They don't do "tricks". Everything they do is natural. They just spyhop or jump out of the water. They are trained since way before 2008, only Blackfish made "free da whalez" something trendy, like a fashion. Let's hope that SeaWorld's Blue World Project will stop this ignorant fashion.
MrRandomgamer Your logic is reversed. Besides from these treats that they take for their relatively easy performances they also have their scheduled meal. In the wild they would have to find it by their own or else they die. That's what dolphins do in the ocean all day. They hunt. For them there's no such thing as free life and natural beauty. They have the same life as all wild animals. Natiral does not equal better.

Actually they are a hybrid of two species of dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales that despite their name are actually another species of dolphin.
If it's half pacifc white sided dolphin, half false killer whale, then it's not really a hybrid. Pacific white sided dolphins are small toothed whales, technically. Still though. It's definitely odd. Never seen anything quite like it.
Oh and I would like ALL of you to know. THIS center doesn't 'Make' these Dolphins or Malu do anything. Because TRUST ME. If they didn't want to do it, they Wouldn't! Like I said, all of the animals (they have a large variety) like where they are. The dolphins love doing the shows, because they get praise and treats, even if they do badly/something goes wrong. All of these dolphins are here because they CAN'T survive in the wild. And they earn their keep by performing, it gives them something ...
These beautiful creature's should be free. There should be a LAW to stop Idiot's from taking them just to entertain other idiot's. I hate place's like this..
I actually, pay my way through college with out taking any holidays, I just accept the fact that I cant afford to se things like this (probably someday), but in the meantime I dont want some animal to suffer for my comfort
+Mycenaea Yeah who wants to be fed regularly , Stimulated with trainers often when you can get murdered by a false killer whale or pilot whale or end up in a dolphin slaughter in japan or the faroe islands right
Vousie V "Seem pretty happy?" Do you know anything about cetaceans in captivity? Please see "The Cove", "A fall from freedom", and "Captive dolphins suffer mistreatment and death in confinement." (youtube), google why this is abuse. How long these wonderful animals live in the wild and how long they live in captivity, why they perform, concrete tanks versus the wild, why they get daily medications to survive in captivity, they eat DEAD fish in captivity, they swim long distances daily in the wild, they have family bonds, and MUCH more...the list is long!
Im not some strong hearted animal activist, but this kinda stuff makes me feel sick. How is this more entertaining than just seeing the animals swim in their natural habitat?
...gives them something to look forward to in their lives, when otherwise, they would have DIED. Keeping an establishment like this running, to keep the animals happy and well taken care of, requires an immense amount of funds. So before you go throwing your BS out there. Think about under which circumstances this park came to be, its policies and rules, and how they have made ALL the animals lives' here BETTER then what they would have had elsewhere.
It's a kind shock see this..... It's evident that is different from bottlenose and false orca's.... The color, the body..... This Animal is, soooo beautiful. But they desirve freedom, not this... Poor dolphins 🙏😭💓
Shes beautiful! And im just saying, if the dolphins didnt want to do it they wouldnt, most animals love putting on shows and they love the rewards they get. Whats the difference between a dog doing tricks for entertainment and a dolphin doing tricks for rewards and attention? Ive seen depressed animals, and I know what it looks like. These animals are content with where they are and what they are doing. :) I understand that most animals need to be released into the wild but if they are bred in captivity they dont know how to do diddly squat, much less survive.
i loled at all the people who are mad that the only killer whale/dolphin on earth should be set free, it was born by accident in captivity you bunch of dumbs, and what makes you think the the animal would be better off in the wild? Why don't you go release your dog or your cat into the wild, i'm sure its unhappy living with you *rolls eyes*
@ForCurrentUse Actually, She is very happy there. And no, the Sea Life Park workers do NOT take wild calfs or dolphins. I should know, my best friend is the one who is in charge of Malu. These animals are very well taken care of and I have video from a few months ago of the dolphins who were not part of the shows playing togeather by squirting water from one to the other. They are quite cute and happy in their home. Please do not post if you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
@iamaqua actually that's true. Orcas suffer the worst in captive conditions. Sea Worlds orcas are in poor health no matter how it's dressed up. As for the suicide thing, many dolphins have been known to do that by self asphyxiation or by bashing their heads on the side of the tank. One of the dolphins who acted as Flipper did that...
What's funny is that its actually NOT a wolphin. It's just a hybrid dolphin. False killer whales are part of the dolphin family. WHALES are not. They are part of the order Cetacea (all whales, dolphins, and porpoises) but they are technically still dolphins. Same with Orcas.
Actually the source they cite at that part also speaks about captive wholphins. There are other kinds of hybrid dolphins in the wild, like Risso's/bottlenose or bottlenose/spotted.
If you REALLY want to see the animal you can go to where it lives!, bringing the animal to your home so you can use it like a tv channel is messed up, and very American I must say
I wonder why it's typical? ;D, Im not some crazy animal activist just picking the side less chosen. Dolphins are aware that they exist, the suffer from depression in captivity because they are unsuited to captivity born into it or not. Also, they sure as fuck don't respond well to been asked to do mundane tasks and tricks day after day! Thats not for PROTECTION or EDUCATIONAL purposes (Which is what a zoo strives to do!) thats just using them as a commodity for our amusement. Understand yet?
"my mother was a whale, my father was a very brave dolphin"
He Clearly Likes it!
It was the other way around. Also, the whale (false killer whale in this cross) is technically a dolphin. Same for killer whales, pilot whales, melon-headed whales, etc.
@@BrightnessAndShadow Yeah they are big dolphins.
not as brave as The Donkey..
( joke )
@@BrightnessAndShadow I'm pretty sure the comment was a joke
That's funny, because, Gwen Stefani's song "The sweet escape" is played, while wholphins are in captivity
they dont exist in the wild meaning they would likely die in the wild
HUDD1N I didn't think so, very observant :)
HUDD1N they have been reported to live in the wild and been made naturally also

Since the false killer whale is also a dolphin, she's just all dolphin
Still a hybrid, but like, a subspecies hybrid. Like a Bengal tiger Siberian tiger hybrid.
She is all dolphin. Specifically, a hybrid between a false killer WHale and a bottlenose dOLPHIN. So, wholphin.
FActas !
Yeah but the false killer whale is like twice the size
@@kidyomu89 Not exactly. you're talking about two regional variations of the same species. the dolphins isn't a species, it's a group of relatively closely related species, like for example canines (dholes, jackals, wolfs, coyotes etc).

I swam with her, when i lived in Honolulu. and she is so beautiful
Awesome!
As for the people that are asking if Wolphins can reproduce, they can - Kekaimalu has had 3 children, one of which is still aive.
So to get any confusion out of the way: a false Killer and a Bottlenose are BOTH Dolphin species. In the same way a Pitbull and a Chihuahua are both dogs.

Anyone else reminded of a xenomorph with its head shape? Gorgeous but kinda spooky
I love her......so cute wolphin
Heres a story, about 20 yrs ago a killer whale and a dolphin fell in love, and has a whalaphin.
Nature does surprise me sometimes.
Beautiful Animal are there any in the wild?
Ugh i hate places like this first you take them from their home in the Ocean and now your cross breeding them....wtf is wrong with people -.-

They get food if they do tricks. That's why they do them, to get treats.
Is it hard for people to understand this?

can dolphins hear clapping ?
They perform as " if I could escape" plays in the background 😞
Clearly, Kekaimalu isn’t as experienced as her dolphin friends, considering she was the only one who didn’t “walk” on their tail fin.
I love how you started an argument with me and got yourself all worked up and grumpy ;) Thanks for making me smile

dolphins must be on the wild
Actually they are a hybrid of two species of dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales that despite their name are actually another species of dolphin.
Nice video, Shes actually half false killer whale but it would be awsome if she was like half humpback whale. xD
wholphin's happen naturally in the wild so why close this place down...
because your an ugly fat assclown thats why we need to shut this park down. Also wtf kind of name is jazlyn are your parents crackheads

An artificial species! Nice! "Tursiops Crassidens"! No. "Pseudotursiops Pseudorca". Good one!
No, they also exist in the wild.

Actually the source they cite at that part also speaks about captive wholphins.
There are other kinds of hybrid dolphins in the wild, like Risso's/bottlenose or bottlenose/spotted.
its not artificial
But wholphins haven't been encountered in the wild. So it's artificial.
Actually they are thought to occur naturally, they're just exceptionally rare.
This is slavery.
this is a problem with the biological species concept.
If you REALLY want to see the animal you can go to where it lives!, bringing the animal to your home so you can use it like a tv channel is messed up, and very American I must say
OMG just why do they need to do this for these stupid people
These animals want treats. They get those when they perform tricks.
