How can people say it’s “ugly”? It looks just like a beluga whale. Nobody ever said that was ugly. People are so crude and afraid of the unknown.

I agree with everyone who said it looks like a beluga.

And how can it be ugly with that smile on its face?

It does look a tad peculiar, though I wouldn’t call it the ugliest out there. BTW, has anyone ever actually seen a swimming tumer?

I think that he’s a cutie, and isn’t ugly at all.

I wonder why anyone would think it was ugly?

The original report here was on Channel Ten, it was their cameras on the boat and I’m pretty sure they claimed it was the first VIDEO footage. They must have known the original Qld photo existed as they used it in their report. From my memory of their report, that was the only claim they made, plus the collection of the DNA. According to the WWF, who are conducting the research (do a search for WWF Australia, and then click on the “species” link), they are going to do the DNA analysis to check if the northwestern population is a separate species or sub species or species of the ones discovered off Qld. It has been proved to be distinct from the Irrawaddy dolphin.

in my opinion, it’s some sort of beluga.

Ben Franklin stated:
“Beauty, like supreme dominion, is but supported by opinion.”

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think it is beautiful.
