I was woefully unprepared when I went on a fishing trip in the gulf, me and my ship were swallowed whole. Now I make my home in the bowels of this creature, if the school had given more effort in teaching me whale I might be able to ask the whale to let me go.

@Tatsujiro Kurogane No, orcas are undisputably dolphins. It's very black and white. A long time ago, whales broke off into toothed whales and baleen whales. Of the toothed whales, a certain branch which broke off, called delphinoidea, which later broken off into three branches: 1. all oceanic dolphins, 2. All porpoises, and 3. The beluga whale and narwhal. The first branch that contains all oceanic dolphins contains the killer whale. The killer whale, or orca, has a common ancestor with all dolphins that only other dolphins share. That makes it undisputably a dolphin, not a whale. They do happen to be the largest dolphin, but evolutionary history matters more than size. They are called "killer whales" because ancient sailors saw them killing whales and called them "whale killers" and that got flipped around. Their latin name, Orcinus orca, also references their violent nature, but it doesn't mistakenly identify them as a whale.

@@everettwebster5524 No, dolphins and whales are both cetaceans, but they are completely separate groups. Dolphins and porpoises evolved from a group of toothed whales to have very distinctive features from other cetaceans. The name given to the cetaceans not belonging to that group, which didn't evolve many distinctive features to separate them from one another, is whales, while dolphins and porpoises had distinctive features that made humans decide to give them their own name. Therefore, whales refers exclusively to cetaceans without super distinctive features such as dolphins and narwhals, while dolphin, such as the killer whale (or more accurately, "whale killer") refers to a group with particular distinctive features due to a common evolutionary history with each other.

I am amazed at how little funding (only 84%) is spent on whale education. I have since learned that 13% is spent on frivolous things like sports, band, and art. while almost 2% are doled out on teacher salaries. What disgusts me the most is that nearly 1% is wasted on such useless things as reading, writing, and math, whatever those things are!

This is a 100% accurate reflection of American news panels. Always talking about mundane things, none of them can contribute more than a 1D argument for/against something, and usually not a single one has any clue what they are talking about. Everyone is a stand-in for certain kinds of ppl with nothing unique to say, and certainly nothing to add!

Today on #whalefacts: A whale is classified as a mammal. Mammals have legs and feet and so do whales. The average human can’t see them though because they’re so tiny. When a whale walks up on shore from the beach they look eerie and some people are frightened because they look like they’re gliding across the sand, sort of like those gliding nuns in the movie The Blues Brothers.

Dude, I learned that song in school too. And I was homeschooled! These schools really do need to learn how to use their money more effectively, otherwise Americans are going to one day have no way to compete with the level of whale knowledge of even some third world countries. We as a society really need to stop being so lazy, and focus on the whale education that we all need to survive in this harsh world.
