Meet the Suspects More than a century ago, in 1895, two Smithsonian scientists described a new kind of deep sea creature living at least 1000 m (3,280 ft) below the ocean’s surface— a part of the ocean that we still know very little about. The scientists named their find the whalefish because of its whale -like appearance. Little did they know that this fish would become one of the prime suspects in a mystery that took scientists from around the world decades to solve. Whales are classified in the class ‘mammalia’ and order Cetacea in the animal kingdom. The term ‘ whale ’ is sometimes used to refer to all cetaceans, which include the sperm whale , killer whale , pilot whale , and beluga whale . On the other hand, fishes are the members of paraphyletic group, which includes all gill-bearing aquatic animals. When you picture the ocean’s most magnificent inhabitants, whales inevitably come to mind. These massive creatures, gliding gracefully through the sea, often raise a common question: is a whale a fish ? The simple answer is no; whales are not fish . They are mammals. But to truly understand why, let's dive deeper into the differences between whales and fish , and uncover some fascinating facts about these giants of the deep.
