  I can personally tell you that I've never confused a whale with a fish.
They have, on the
outside visually, flubbery flesh, nostrils for breathing air, an
extrusionary organ for copulation
in males [penis], and they suckle their young (I have watched whale calves
suckle). These indicate
an intrinstic mammalian appearance.<<

Sure, the non educationally challenged, but talk to Joe public and see what
they say. Hey, even listen to the news and see what they say. :)

Whales are fish, Mammoths are dinosaurs...
