Fact: Killer Whales(Orcas) are actually dolphins. In fact, they are the largest dolphins in existence, and can be up to 30 feet or more in length, and weigh up to 12,000 pounds.
I got into an argument with my 9th grade English teacher about this....surprisingly a lot of people would still argue on this point but they are in fact dolphins xD

Fact: Some species are known as ring species - which make classifying them very hard. Individuals that live close together can all interbreed, but populations further away from each other cannot. So if there are five populations A, B, C, D, E - theoretically A could breed with B but not C, D, E. B could breed with A & C but not D or E. C can breed with B & D, but not A or E, etc... While technically all "one species", because the distant ones can't breed with another they're sort of different species. And that makes them ridiculously cool.
