Pilot whales are among the largest of the oceanic dolphins, exceeded in size only by the killer whale. They and other large members of the dolphin family are also known as blackfish.
But from the oceanic dolphin wiki page:

Quote:
Six of the larger species in the Delphinidae, the Orca and the Pilot, Melon-headed, Pygmy Killer and False Killer Whales, are commonly called whales, rather than dolphins; they are also sometimes collectively known as "blackfish".
But it's a dumb distinction anyway. Animals are animals, it shouldn't factor into the argument over whether (or how) to kill them.



Edit -- Jinx! You owe me a Coke!
