Dolphins and fish are alike, but also very different. They are both in the Kingdom Animalia. However, there are several differences. For example, fish can live in frsh or salt water. Dolphins only live in salt water. Also, dolphins are mammals and fish aren't. Fish lay eggs, but with dolphins, the femal gives birth to a new living young dolphin.

Dolphins and killer whales are alike in many ways: for example, they are both mammals (they have live babies, no eggs). Also, contrary to popular opinion, orcas (also known as killer whales) are actually in the Mammalian (mammal) family Delphinidae, meaning that TECHNICALLY orca whales are not whales at all; they are a part of the dolphin family! Also, killer whales, or orcas, have they same playful nature as dolphins, although they are not quite so exuberant as dolphins.

I hope this helps, from Owen.
