A killer whale is both a dolphin and a whale. Killer whales are orcas of the genus Orca in the family Cetacea. All animals under the orcas can be called whales, so orcas are undoubtedly whales and belong to toothed whales among whales. And killer whales are dolphins, so they can also be called dolphins. People usually think that dolphins and whales are different. The big ones are whales and the small ones are dolphins, but in fact they are both whales.
