Crosses Dolphins and Whales

Crossbreeding Could Cross-Species fertile?

Back when I was still a high school student, a biology teacher explains that cross-species mating may be done, but always the result of sterile offspring (non-fertile). He gave an example that can be bred horses and donkeys (mules her son's name), but the crosses are barren and weak. It is said that his descendants who assert the truth of this barren system of classification of living creatures from Linneus.

Backcrossing have done a lot of scientists and usually occurs within the same genus. Such as horses and donkeys that have been called that, donkeys and zebra, or tiger by tiger; this hybrid creature a new kind of animal he is unique.

One thing that broke interbreeding between these species is the marriage between the dolphins and whales which are in addition to cross-species interbreed, but also across the genus while still in one family. In 1985 the Marine Sea Life Park, Hawaii found hybrid between a dolphin fish (atlantic Bottlenose doplhin, Tursiops truncatus) and with the kind of killer whales (Pseudoorca crassidens), named Kekaimalu a new kind of creature called Wholphin (may mean crossing 'whale' and 'dolphin'). This Keikamalu was inherited from both parents of different genus and was dinataranya. For example, his father (the dolphins) have as many as 44 teeth, and her mother has 88, while as many as 66 teeth Kekaimalu. The color of his skin color was a mixture of black mother and father are the gray (there is in the photo below). Previously there were various reports about the existence of Wholphin on the high seas, but as usual the new scientists believe after this Kekaimalu.

For scientists kekaimalu presence is clearly strange magic bin, especiallywhen associated with the classification system of living beings (which systemLineus it). Technically only a single individual species areindividuals can reduce fertility, but instead was born of Kekaimaludifferent parent species and genus and has been a motheroffspring gave birth three times married with dolphins. Kekaimalu existence may indicate that the current classification of Linneus had been repaired or even replaced.
