A dolphin is a mammal. The person who made the tweet I posted about denied that dolphins were mammals. THEY ARE MAMMALS! Muddying the waters by treating laypersons usage of the same word a scientist may use causes that kind of bullshit denial.
But scientifically speaking the aquatic mammals we call 'dolphins' aren't dolphins. 'Dolphin' isn't a scientific term.
Besides, you didn't specify which one the tweeter in question was referring to. There is an animal we call a dolphin that is a fish. There is another animal we call a dolphin that is a mammal.
