TODOs[edit]

Someone should add a range map to this article.

Very interesting![edit]

More information about the description and size of the animal would be helpful if there Is available data. Annabelle howe (talk) 20:53, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What color(s)?[edit]

What color is this animal? The image on the article makes it appear pink-orange, but I'm guessing that's a trick of the light. --FOo 06:23, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Australian Snubfin Dolphin is dark brown on the top, a lighter brown on the sides, and a white belly. Use this link (DNA samples reveal new dolphin species)and click on the picture at the top right corner of the page to get a good look at the Australian Snubfin.

Awesome![edit]

I think this is awesome that they found another species.

Nothing completely new under the sun[edit]

Channel 10 News Sydney on 1 August 2008 showed some good film taken by a wildflife department study group, of the dolphin sticking its distinct head out of the water, a few hundred metres from a city (probably Townsville -- hardly remote). The accompanying commentary by the reporter unfortunately gave the impression that the animal had just been discovered and up till now was completely unknown. As the article makes clear, it has been known to science for 44 years, but until three years ago was thought to be another species. I'll bet though that Aboriginal peoples in nothern Australia, especially those that hunt the manatee, have always known of this dolphin and have a name for it. If anyone can verify this and give some local names it would be useful addition to the article. Strayan (talk) 00:43, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review: BIOE 129[edit]

It might be helpful to elaborate further on the "Irrawaddy dolphin" in the lead. It would also be helpful to more the description section about the snubfin to before the taxonomy. It would link together the connections between the Irrawaddy and snubfin mentioned in the lead.

The first sentence of the second paragraph of the taxonomy section sounds a little too casual, as well as opinion based. Last sentence of this paragraph also has the same problem.

More information should be added to the life history section, potentially reproduction information, if available.
