Up1nsmoke Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 At first I thought it may be an irrawaddy dolphin, however there is no dorsal fin. It was washed up on the beach at Kui Buri. Any sensible suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

does Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 It seems a cross between en dolphin and whale species. Maybe the people at the Phuket Aquarium can help. The may very interested if it is an unknown species. http://phuketaquarium.org/en/ [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonray Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I don't know what it is, but I'm surprised it wasn't coated in salt and thrown on the grill with some Pla Nin already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Looks like a Beluga whale. However they are meant to only inhabit Arctic and sub Arctic waters so unlikely it made it so far south in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csabo Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) The Right Whale Dolphin is the only dolphin with no dorsal fin (and no visible teeth and is not from the region) so it appears to be a whale BUT whales are marine dwellers that rarely venture into fresh waters and cannot survive there long term. Your specimen has the face of an Irrawaddy dolphin but the missing dorsal feature and "serrated" fins are puzzling. The Irrawaddy typically has a small dorsal fin so perhaps this is a juvenile with misleading feature. Do let us know what you find out.

Kabula Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Looks like a bastard to me! The father of the bastard was not selective while mating, and the mother of the bastard, her father praticed incest! The mother of the bastard should wash up on shore any day now near the Walking Street pier. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarn Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I came across similar in ThungWuaLaen ~ 3 years ago. Calf of some cetacean, often chewed up by other marine denizens before being washed onto shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
