Strange Dolphin: Scientists have seen a strange dolphin. This dolphin has been seen in the Gulf of Corinth in Greece. According to NDTV report, that dolphin has hook-shaped thumbs on its flippers (fish fins). It is said that the researchers of Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute saw that dolphin twice during a survey. Despite the unusual shape of the flippers, there was no effect on the dolphin's swimming speed. She was maintaining coordination with the rest of her body and was also able to jump without any problem.

A scientist named Alexandros Frantzis has been cited in the report. According to him, such a dolphin has been seen for the first time. Scientists have been conducting surveys in the area where the unique dolphin was seen for the last 30 years. The team of scientists also took a photo of that dolphin with a thumb.

Scientists say that there are 1300 dolphins in the Gulf of Corinth, but there is only one dolphin with a unique flipper. Scientists also say that this condition of dolphin does not look like any disease. Probably because of his genes, he has prominent thumbs on his flippers.

Many species of dolphins live in the Gulf of Corinth. But there is only one dolphin with a thumb in the flipper. The special thing is that dolphins have thumbs in both their left and right flippers. Other scientists also believe that this is a genetic disorder.

The presence of dolphins can be seen in areas with clean water around the world. They are present in the Ganga river in India also. A dolphin can range in size from 4 feet to 30 feet. The dolphin found in the Ganga has been declared the national aquatic animal by the government.
