There is a dolphin fish, which is a fish like any other type of fish. The term dolphin is also the name of a species of aquatic mammal similar to the porpoise. A killer whale, or orca, is a type of dolphin. The dolphin mammal, and dolphin fish are not the same. One is a mammal and one is a fish. You can go to Wikipedia.com to look at photos of dolphin mammal and dolphin fish.
