according to the urban dictionary, there is such a thing as &#8220;dolphin whale syndrome&#8221; &#8230; that made me chuckle &#8230;
according to biologists, however, there is also such as thing as &#8220;skinny whale syndrome&#8221; &#8230; this one&#8217;s not so funny &#8230;
skinny whale syndrome is a recent phenomenon that is being observed in pacific gray [...]]]></description>
