Trainers at Hawaii Sea Life Park were stunned when a 182-kilogram gray bottlenose dolphin gave birth in 1985 to a dark-skinned calf that partly resembled a 909-kilogram false killer whale she shared a tank with. The calf was a wholphin, a hybrid with 66 teeth compared with the bottlenose's 88 and the 44 of the much-larger member of dolphin family. And in 2006, a hunter in the Canadian Arctic shot a bear that had white fur like a polar bear's but had brown patches, long claws and a hump like a grizzly bear's.
