Dolphins and whales are both cetaceans. They are very closely related. Cetaceans are land animals that have returned to live in the sea. You can tell this by looking at their skeletons. They still have the bones of arms and legs, even though they have just two front flippers now. The animal called the killer whale, or orca, is actually the largest kind of dolphin.
