Information from wiki about Snubfin Dolphin
The Australian Snubfin Dolphin (Orcaella heinsohni) is a recently recognised species of dolphin, scientifically described in 2005.
It is closely related to the Irrawaddy dolphin (O. brevirostris), and closely resembles it. Until very recently they were thought to be Irrawaddy dolphins. However, the Australian snubfin is tri-coloured, while the Irrawaddy dolphin only has two colours on its skin. Also the skull and the fins show minor differences between the two species.
