I don't always make NSFW memes, but when I do, it's for Dankinator's quests. And yes it is too a dolphin.

Ah-hahahahahahhahahaha! Hilarious, dude. Dankinator-approved, to be sure!

That is a strange looking dolphin, man. Are you sure they're real?

Cheers!

Yes, it's the actual Dolphin, or Dolphin fish...otherwise known as the Mahi Mahi sport fish, look it up! Not sure everything in the picture is real though...lol

I had no idea they were called that! Wow. They're not actual dolphins, obviously, but share the same name. I have eaten mahi mahi before, so I guess, in a way, I've eaten dolphin.

There is definitely some silicone in that picture. Hard to see it since it is underneath human flesh.

No, they are really dolphins! The dolphin everyone really thinks about is actually a porpoise. How those got mixed up I have no idea.

Nevermind, I had to look it up real quick to be sure and porpoises stand alone as a species, the one everybody thinks about is actually a bottlenose dolphin...but still, the fish is also a dolphin...so I stand partially corrected but the meme still counts!

Yeah, they're not "dolphins", in the traditional sense. I suppose they are still "dolphins" simply based on one of their simple names. It's worth posting the actual scientific information here:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People use the terms dolphins, porpoises, and whales to describe marine mammals belonging to the order Cetacea (from the Greek work ketos, “large sea creature”), and often use them interchangeably. The orca, or killer whale, for example, is actually the largest member of the dolphin family.

Dolphins are by far more prevalent than porpoises. Most scientists agree that there are 32 dolphin species (plus five closely related species of river dolphin) and only six porpoise species.

The harbor porpoise has small pointed flippers and no beak. The dorsal fin is small and triangle-shaped.

So what’s the difference? It essentially comes down to their faces (who can forget Flipper’s famous “grin”?), their fins, and their figures. Dolphins tend to have prominent, elongated “beaks” and cone-shaped teeth, while porpoises have smaller mouths and spade-shaped teeth. The dolphin’s hooked or curved dorsal fin (the one in the middle of the animal’s back) also differs from the porpoise’s triangular dorsal fin. Generally speaking, dolphin bodies are leaner, and porpoises’ are portly.

Dolphins are also more talkative than porpoises. Dolphins make whistling sounds through their blowholes to communicate with one another underwater. Scientists are pretty sure that porpoises do not do this, and some think this may be due to structural differences in the porpoise’s blowhole.

Dolphins and porpoises have many similarities, one of which is their extreme intelligence. Both have large, complex brains and a structure in their foreheads, called the melon, with which they generate sonar (sound waves) to navigate their underwater world.

It is likely that more (or fewer) differences between dolphins and porpoises will be revealed as researchers continue to investigate these intriguing sentinels of the sea.

Maybe later.
