A wholphin is a hybrid between a male false killer whale and a female bottlenose dolphin. It was first produced in captivity in Hawaii in 1985, and since then, only a few more have been born. It has the size, shape, and color of both parents, and it can produce sounds that are a mix of whistles and clicks. It is also fertile and can mate with other dolphins or whales.
