Yes, a whale is classified as a chordate. Chordates are animals that belong to the phylum Chordata, which is characterized by the presence of a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits at some stage of development. Whales, being mammals, possess these characteristics and are part of the class Mammalia within this phylum.
