Mahi Mahi is commonly, but perhaps incorrectly called a "Dolphin" because of it's appearance. It has a blunt forehead, similar in shape to that of actual "Dolphins"

But it is a fish. A gill-using, non-milk producing, simple nerve system, no hair having, egg-laying fish.

A Dolphin is a mammal. It gives birth to live young, produced milk to feed its young, has lungs, breaths air, has a brain roughly the size of a human.... and even has hair as a youth.

Flipper's genetically more closely related to humans than he is to Mahi Mahi - by a long shot.
