No, dolphins and whales are mammals
Whales are whales.
Porpoises are porpoises.
Fish are fish. Sharks are fish. Whale sharks are fish.
Dolphins are dolphins.
Killer whales are whales.
No, whales are not dolphins but they are both mammals, and similar. They are both from the same family, but just like a pet cat and tiger are from the same family, and are both mammals they also have distinct differences, it is the same with whales and dolphins.
Both dolphins and whales belong to same order of aquatic mammals, known as Cetaceans. Many people (perhaps stubbornly so) refuse to call dolphins and porpoises "whales" even though they are whales in every way anatomically except perhaps in size. In pop-culture it is often assumed the only true "whales" are baleen whales (like the blue, humpback, or grey whales) with the exception of a few toothed whales (the sperm whale, beluga, and narwhal). This excludes animals classified as porpoises and dolphins (like the bottlenose dolphin, killer whale, and pilot whale).
Another Answer:
Since dolphins are part of the Cetacea Order (of scientific classification), technically all dolphins are whales.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Subclass: Eutheria
Order: Cetacea
The term whale sometimes refers to all cetaceans, but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises, which belong to suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales). This suborder also includes the sperm whale, killer whale, pilot whale, and beluga whale.
Neither, they are mammals.
IMPROVED ANSWER:
Dolphins are small, toothed whales. Like all whales, dolphins are mammals not fish. Many scientists believe that dolphins rank among the most intelligent animals, along with chimpanzees and dogs.
No because Whales and Dolphins are mammals.
yes whale are related to porpoises and dolphins
No they are not although porpoises are related to whales and dolphins.
they come from the same family
mammles
Porpoises and dolphins are actually both toothed whales.
Many people call dolphins porpoises. Though very similar, dolphins and porpoises are not the same.
Yes! They are in the same Order of Cetaceans. That Order includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises furthermore, they share the same Family Delphinidae with dolphins, porpoises and of course Orcas.
Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises, by Mark Carwardine.
They are bottle nose dolphins.
Dolphins are related to whales and porpoises.
No, porpoises are not dolphins. While these two animals are both mammals they vary in size, physical characteristics, and behaviors.
Many think of dolphins as these beautiful sweet creatures, but they do attack and kill porpoises. It has been documented with videos that they like to bully and hurt baby porpoises.

Yes, there are dolphins in Lake Pontchartrain.
A cetacea is a big marine animal with long ears and long snout,but strangely it has fur!
No. Whales, dolphins and porpoises are.
