Origami Whale
This origami whale is super easy to make! All you need is 1 square sheet of paper. The origami whale could also be used as a fish, dolphin or other kinds of whales.
This traditional origami whale can be made to have a split tail, which can be attained by making a single cut at the end, this step is completely optional.
Similar to the traditional origami turtle, this cut doesn’t break any origami rules.
