no 2 species can reproduce something that will be fertile.
say hello to Kawili Kai, born to a female
wholphinby a male dolphin, at 9 months of age in September 2005
A wholphin or wolphin is an extremely rare hybrid born from a mating of a female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with a male false killer whale
The first wholphin in the United States and the first to survive was Kekaimalu, born at Sea Life Park in Hawaii on May 15, 1986; her name means "from the peaceful ocean".[3] Although they have been reported to exist in the wild,[2] only one is currently in captivity, at Sea Life Park in Hawaii.[1]
Kekaimalu proved fertile when she gave birth at a very young age. The calf died after a few days. However, in 1991, Kekaimalu gave birth once again, to daughter Pohaikealoha. For two years, she cared for the calf, but did not nurse it; it was hand-reared by trainers. Pohaikealoha died at age 9. On December 23, 2004, Kekaimalu had her third calf, daughter Kawili Kai, sired by a male bottlenose. This calf did nurse and was very playful. Only months after birth, it was the size of a one-year-old bottlenose dolphin.[1] All three calves were three-quarters bottlenose dolphin and one-quarter false killer whale.[4] Both Kekaimalu and Kawili Kai remain in captivity, and are now part of the normal tour at Sea Life Park.
