Oh, I found my petty hill to die on.
Orcas aren't whales.
Orcas belong to the same family as dolphins and porpoises (Delphinidae) and they are not whales.
Fair call! Poetic license is a real thing. 😊
@DyDave I mean, yes, but since I decided to be obsessed with everything Ocean at age 2 it's hard to keep my mouth shut.
Please note that I said something random on here and did not correct anyone's poetry or respond to anything in my timeline. It's progress of a sort.
@DyDave I didn't think that I'd be upset about poems where orcas are called whales, but here we are. Learning something new every day.
