THEY ARE NOT WHALES!!!!! THEY ARE DOLPHINS!!

[ginoconte28]

@renukii yes well done.

[MalleusSolum]

@renukii Dolphins are a sub-family of whales actually. Yes Orcas are dolphins; they are also whales, dolphins are whales too. I don't see how calling them a whale could be insulting seeing as how whales are majestic, intelligent and beautiful creatures. As for the word killer, they are killers; not in the immoral sense we humans apply to it, they're not *murderers* but they are killers. Orcas are impressively efficient predatorial killers.

Didn't John Bishtar Cruistoe discover the titanic?

@renukii so true I like that "we humans should be the ones carrying the title of killer"

[OrcaAgainstCaptivity]

well ya, but what about the killer lion ? and the killer polar bear,? and the killer great white shark ? and the killer cat (some are killing mouses)

we can put a "killer" before most of the animal names. Witch is ridicoulus

Whales abd dolphins are a classification made by scientist and the orca is into dolphins familly from the cetaceans.Anyway these videos are looking nice I gonna check them.... your killer human will see these videos(however I'm vegetarian not sure if I'm a killer now ?)

[ThinkerHatNeeded]

@GuerillaInThaMidst but could you call both whales and dolphins for whales, like you can call both humans and monkies for primates?

[OdinsRealm]

@renukii You must be confused, i dont insult the orca by calling it a whale, and i did not call them "killer". What i wrote is a fact, so i dare u to inform urself and look it up on wikipedia.

[renukii]

@ odinsrealm they are related to dolphin a like cousins. They function alike they have the same ancestors. And u can't just accept thier dominance in the dolphin family instead of insulting them by calling them whales. And killers. IF anything we humans should be the ones carrying the title of killer. We r the reason y more and more of the ocras Nd much animAl life is dispeaeing.

I invite u to inform urself. On what whales look like and how they behAve and u will see the differences.

@renukii Orcas are indeed whales and related with dolphins, both are toothed whales.
