The Delphinidae Family

Blackfish or Smaller Toothed Whale

Although generally considered more closely related to dolphins than other whale species, the word 'whale' is used broadly to indicate size rather than zoological affinity. They are unlike dolphins in appearance and do not migrate but move around according to the availability of food and natural conditions such as depth of water.
