False - it was a dolphin
I assume you mean Flipper. Flipper was originally a movie- later a television program and the title character was a Dolphin. There was a sort of loosely-derived novel that had the Flipper title, but had differently-named characters, a submarine used by smugglers called the(Killer Whale) and was entirely different from the Television show except for the Title character- the names of the family ( Porter Riggs and sons) in the TV show- was changed in the novel. it was publlished by Whitman as I recall and was a real dud. there were no Flipper series novels- a la Trixie Belden, Tom Swift, Hardy Boys....
A dolphin, and the lead character of the sixties TV show produced by Ivan Tors/
(Flipper) itself is the title song. the title song and theme song are the same- a familiar practice with TV, but not also movies. some movie theme songs have nothing to do with the plot- for example Raindrops, a placid interval in a violent western gangster tale.
The dolphin who played Flipper in the 1963 version of "Flipper" and "Flipper's New Adventure" was Mitzi.On the "Flipper" TV series (1964 - 1967) Flipper was played by Suzy (the name given in the credits was Flipper: as himself)On the TV series "The New Adventures of Flipper" (1995 - 2000) and the 1996 movie version of " Flipper" the part of Flipper was played by several dolphins: Aleta, Delphi, Kibbie, Santini and Tursi
