Whales are divided into two suborders, baleen whales and toothed whales.

Killer Whales are toothed whales.

So are Dolphins.

So are Beaked Whales.

So are the Porpoise.

All toothed whales.

Killer whales are from the dolphin 🐬 (Delphinidae) family. Whales 🐋 are divided into four families: Balaenopteridae, Balaenidae, Cetotheriidae, and Eschrichtiidae.

It’s time to start calling them killer dolphins.

Whales dolphins and porpoises are from the same order (Cetartiodactyla) but not the same family.
