Kekaimalu is a hybrid between a False Killer Whale and an Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin. Born May 15, 1985, she shows her whale heritage in her dark coloration, body length, width, and large teeth. Her profile is a unique blend of both parents, with a short, tapering rostrum or "beak." She has an estimated 66 teeth, while an Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin has 88 teeth and a False Killer Whale has 44 teeth. She weighs approximately 690 pounds and eats 45 pounds of fish a day. Although hybrid animals are generally sterile, Kekaimalu gave birth to a healthy baby girl on December 23, 2004.
