No, whales are big and dolphins are small... If that's not enough of an answer I can ramble for you... is that what you want? Ok then, they are very similar in the fact that they treat their young the same, have the same basic biological makeup and are both mammals but it is relatively easy to see that they are different animals because they are not only in different species but, in different genuses' so in scientific lingo, they are about as similar as your friends housecat and a tiger.
