No, whales are mammals, like dolphins. An easy way to tell is if something swims with it's tail moving side to side, it is a fish. If the tail moves up and down, it is a mammal. A whale is a mammal, it gives birth to live young and has to rise to the surface to breathe. its whale and no whales are mammals
