False Killer Stamp

The False Killer Whale. The name Whale is misleading, because these creatures are actually a member of the dolphin family. They are called whales because of their large size, reaching about 20 feet long. they can be occasionally confused with their better known cousins, the killer whale, but they are not as large and they lack the white patches that are seen on all killer whales.

I love marine mammals, particularly dolphins, and most people have only ever heard of the bottlenose dolphins. so I'm doing this partially to get people to realize that there are other amazing and beautiful dolphin species out there to appriciate as well.

feel free to post this in your journal if you want to.
