The new "wholphin" was born two days before Christmas at Sea Life Park in Hawaii to Kekaimalu, the original wholphin born 19 years ago. The father is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.

Her coloring is a mix of the two species from which she is descended. "It was really big news, especially to those of us in the business," Sea Life Park General Manager Renato Lenzi told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, because 6-foot dolphins and 14-foot false killer whales had been considered so dissimilar that no one had expected them to mate.
