A species of humpback dolphin previously unknown to science is swimming in the waters off northern Australia, according to a team of researchers working for the Wildlife Conservation Society, the American Museum of Natural History, and numerous other groups that contributed to the study.
"Cool" is finding out that dolphins are among the handful of species on Earth that can recognize themselves in the mirror. "Cooler" is finding out that dolphins "name" themselves from a young age with a signature whistle used to signal their identity to other dolphins.
Fun fact: This noble sea creature was going to be our National Animal until SOMEBODY decided that both the Freshwater Dolphin and the Wild American Turkey were inferior to the mighty Bald Eagle. Lame.
Summer's here! Sit back, relax, and enjoy A Cheezburger Summer!
