Dolphin riding a whale. yup. (i.imgur.com)
submitted 1 year ago by VAG_Pounder
[–]LikeGoldAndFaceted 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
Somehow I doubt the dolphin was riding the whale.
[–]ddrw 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Looks more like the whale decided to headbutt that loser dolphin straight out of the water.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I feel like the dolphin wanted to jump out extra high and decided to ramp off the whale as it was coming out of the water.
[–]joeisreason 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
More like dolphin getting owned by whale.
[–]PhantomCheezit 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
or "Whale headbutting dolphin right in the god damned mouth!"
[–]RoflHouse42 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Dolphin was probably playing and the humpback whale just had had enough and was like gtfo noob

Sick nose stall dude.
[–]xenulives 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Hmm. To me, it looks like the whale is wearing a dolphin hat. I know I would.
[–]Five_deadly_venoms 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
My life is complete.
[–]hymnealamour 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
not just any whale. It's a humpback whale.
[–]TehStik -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
Is this the aquatic animal equivalent to drowning?
[–]EagleEyeInTheSky 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago
They both breathe air. ಠ_ಠ
[–]TehStik 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I know, but I couldn't resist. DAMNIT MAN, IT WAS FUNNY AT THE TIME.
[–]DefinitelyRelephant 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Hardest I've laughed today. Upvote, sir.
[–]turtlekitty30 -5 points-4 points-3 points 1 year ago
Ugh, even though whales and dolphins are cousins, whales have been known to eat dolphins (killer whales). Sooo...there is a chance that this whale came up under the dolphin, headbutted it to toss it in the air and knock it out, just to kill and eat it.
[–]Jonatar 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago
Fun fact - killer whales aren't whales at all. They are actually the largest type of the several types of dolphins.
The only truly carnivorous whale that I can recall is the Sperm whale, which the one in the picture isn't.

Well, I'm definitely no whale biologist (nor any kind of biologist, for that matter), but a quick look through the Wiki entry only seems to show a relationship at a pretty high spot in the tree.
To my mind, their appearance and habits make them far more dolphin-like than whale-like, but I'll willingly concede that there's room for argument either way.
[–]chocolatepanties 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I thought that the killer whale belongs in the oceanic dolphin family (which includes whales and dolphins) but are also considered whales, included in the group of whales with teeth.
I've never seen that distinction. AFAIK they have always been called the largest of the dolphins and considered distinct from whales.
[–]LikeGoldAndFaceted 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
That whale was clearly a humpback or similar whale which is a filter feeder and would not be able to eat a dolphin. As someone has already said, Sperm Whales are the only truly carnivorous whales still alive.
[–]Cayou 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Nah, don't worry, that's not a killer whale, it's not even carnivorous. In fact, it would be physically unable to eat the dolphin even if it wanted to. Nothing here but two sea mammals having some fun :-D
[–]bamb00zled -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
Dolphin here.
I am highly aroused by this picture
