Isla Fisher was recently snapped while visiting Sea World San Diego's Wild Arctic attraction.

She was so lucky to be able to go into the animals' enclosure and meet a real, live whale buddy!

So sweet…we're madly in love with this new family!

A bottlenose dolphin born with a deformity has been abandoned by his original group. The babe suffers from a deformed spine, and he could not keep up with his fellow dolphins.

The dolphin could have also been teased by the members of his original pod as well.

But, thankfully, sperm whales have come to the rescue!
