ACTUALLY like all tetrapods they're sarcopterygii or lobe-finned fish so technically they can be considered "fish" 🙂
>lives in water
>has fins
>splish splash
Yup, that’s a fish
Because it goes WOOO WOOO
And fish go glub glub
>aquatic mammals still haven't evolved an appendage that functions as a snorkel so they can breathe while submerged
get your shit together mammals
unironically because of breasts
Its got boobs
fish don't have boobies (Fish Police and Sharktale are fiction and not real)
>Fish Police and Sharktale are fiction and not real
🙁
>UUUUUUUH IT HAS LUNGS
So do lung fish
>IT GIVES LIVE BIRTH
Plenty of fish do to
>MUH MORPHOLOGY
Morphologically speaking it has more in common with an average "fish" than let's say a trumpet fish a sea horse a sting ray but we all call those fish
>P-pedantic redditors

Lungfish have lungs AND gills, whales do not have gills, they cannot breathe underwater. The number one thing that defines fish is the fact they just live in water and cannot live outside of water, whales literally cannot live without oxygen from the air (ie; not water). You are wrong.
?
they're cartoon characters
Thing on the right is just a fricked up frog.
>left lives out of water and will drown if completely submerged for too long
>fish
>right cannot leave the water and will suffocate if taken out of the water for too long
>not a fish
It has to go up and breathe air like an idiot. Whales also feed their young with a mammary gland. Which is like the definition of a mammal.
Doesn't have gills, spine flexes vertically instead of horizontally, warm blooded, has placenta/womb, secretes milk for young. And all of those are just surface level observations from the layman.
Sure sounds like a mammal to me.
Proof of any of this?
it is a fish
it is a highly derived fish
it is such a highly derived fish that it is also a tetrapod
it is such a highly derived fish that it is also a tetrapod, AND a reptile
it is such a highly derived fish that it is also a tetrapod, AND a reptile, AND a synapsid
it is such a highly derived fish that it is also a tetrapod, AND a reptile, AND a synapsid, AND a mammal
it is such a highly derived fish that it is also a tetrapod, AND a reptile, AND a synapsid, AND a mammal, AND an ungulate
AND, being such a highly derived fish that it is also a reptile, a synapsid, a mammal, and an ungulate, it is more closely related to cows, and deer, and bats, and dogs, and dimetrodon, and dinosaurs, and crocodiles, and birds, and frogs, and turtles
than it is to normal fish
it's SUCH a WEIRD fish that it's not helpful to call it a fish 99.9% of the time
though it is a fish
it's a mammal, that's why
Those two things arent mutually exclusive
they are and they can be. "fish" is a meaningless term
>"fish" is a meaningless term
in the vulgate it means craniates with gills, fins, and generally swim bladders.
in science it means craniates.
both are meaningful categorizations.
you people love to make up terms to fit your view. life is life this thing came out of the water and went back to it. it's about halfway between a "mammal" and "fish" as you would like to call it
>this thing came out of the water and went back to it
Evolutionists literally believe this.
The babies come out almost drowning I think instead of in an egg/embryo
Kek
there is a life force that drives all living things. that life force took it out of the water and brought it back. what do you not understand about that ?
Who told you that, the whale?
Who said it's not a fish?
