>>47160516It's fine to just say you want a bottlenose dolphin Pokémon, you know. But saying orcas aren't dolphins is stretching it.
>Delphinidae familyAka the oceanic dolphin family?
>but their genus is Orcinus.So? The bottlenose dolphin, the stereotypical dolphin, is Tursiops. Did you mean to bring up the subfamily rather than the genus?
>It's like saying that Glameow is a lion just because it belongs to the Felidae familySaying orcas aren't dolphins is like saying lions aren't cats. Lions are cats, they just aren't your average housecat. Orcas are dolphins, but not your stereotypical dolphin that people think of when you say dolphin.
>oceanic dolphins (genus: Delphinus)The Delphinus Genus is not "oceanic dolphins", it is the Common Dolphin.
