The mammals - named snubfin dolphins - were initially thought to be members of the Irrawaddy species, also found in Australian waters.
But one researcher found the snubfins were coloured differently and had different skull, fin and flipper measurements to the Irrawaddys.
DNA tests confirmed that they were two distinct species.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |
