There are two types of whales: baleen and toothed. Blue whales have unique markings on their backs and dorsal fins. Killer whales have unique dorsal fins. It is usually easier for scientists to tell whales apart that it is for regular people.

Are dolphins the same as whales?

No; whales aren't the same as dolphins. It appears that whale is a term that can be applied generally to all members of the order of cetaceans, the order to which all whales and dolphins belong. However, the term dolphin usually applies to cetaceans in the families delphinidae, odontoceti (toothed cetaceans) and sometimes platanistoidea; there is not a completely defined use of terms. So you have to be careful how you ask the questions and how you use the terms. So you can thenk of whales and dolphins as all being cetaceans, but are all whales dolphins? No.
