You can’t fool me. I’ve read Moby Dick and Melville dedicated an entire chapter about how whales are absolutely fish
they’re a berry i think
Yes but only when culinary, this is why it’s okay for vegans to eat whale.
or something, I’m not a biologistContinuing a long proud tradition of “midwit” memes being made exclusively by people who think they’re the 145 IQ guy, but are actually the the 55 IQ guy who found a brown hood.
Cladistically speaking, whales are just a big colony of eukaryotic clones.
Broke: Whales are fish because they look like other fish
Woke: Whales aren’t fish because they’re in the class Mammalia, not Pisces
Bespoke: Whales are fish because any monophyletic group that encompasses all the fishes must also include the clade Tetrapoda
Artichoke: Whales aren’t fish because fishes are a paraphyletic group that includes the entire clade Vertebrata at the exclusion of the clade Tetrapoda.
Stick and Poke: Whales are fish because they’ve developed the same bodyplan and are in the same ecological niche as the pelagic fishes.
