Scientists Seek Data on Rare "Data-Deficient" Snubfin Dolphin

Description:The snubfin dolphin is a mystery to science. It inhabits the warm waters of northern Australia but little else is known about the animal. It was described as a new species only eight years ago. "Previously it was thought to be the Irrawaddy dolphin which is a species that occurs in Asia so we just recently discovered it, and it's actually endemic to Australia, it's found no where else in the world."
