What are all the breeds of whales you can get?

There are over 80 species of whales and dolphins divided into two subspecies (suborder); Odontocetes ( toothed whales) and Mysticetes (baleen whales). Whales and dolphins are both part of the cetaceans order but are part of 2 different families. Orcas are counted in the dolphin family because their teeth are cone shaped like a dolphins. porpoises are counted as dolphins also. All the ones i can think of are: Whales - Orca (killer whale, which is actually part of the dolphin family) Beluga Humpback Blue whale Finwhale Minke whale Sei whale Sperm whale Right whale Bowhead Grey whale Narwaal long-finned pilot whale short-finned pilot whale false killerwhale bryde's whale Dolphins and porpoises: Pacific white sided dolphin saddleback dolphin bottlenose dolphin spinner dolphin river dolphin atlantic spotted dolphin commerson's dolphin chilean dolphin heaviside's dolphin hector's dolphin rough-toothed dolphin indo-pacific bottlenosed dolphin atlantic humpback dolphin indian humpback dolphin pacific humpback dolphin tucuxi clymene dolphin pantropical spotted dolphin striped dolphin arabian common dolphin long beaked common dolphin fraser's dolphin atlantic white-sided dolphin dusky dolphin hourglass dolphin peale's dolphin white-beaked dolphin northern right whale dolphin southern right whale dolphin risso's dolphin melon headed whale pygmy killerwhale pygmy right whale pygmy sperm whale australian subfin dolphin irrawaddy dolphin Dals porpoise harbour porpoise there is a ridiculous amount of dolphins and porpoises and there are a lot more than i listed but theres just an idea of how many there really are!

Is a killer whale a dolphin or a whale?

A killer whale despite its name is a dolphin. The killer whale is in the family delphinidae a group of oceanic dolphins. You may be wondering why then do we call it a killer whale? The answer is simply because researchers and whalers saw the dolphin killing whales, that is why we call them killer whales because they kill-whales :)
