"Rare Skin: Meet Speckles, the Unique Dolphin Making Waves in Australia"

Researchers in Australia have discovered a rare coloration on a bottlenose dolphin, which they believe is caused by an extremely rare skin condition called piebaldism. The dolphin, named Speckles, is one of only six photographed cases of dolphins with this condition in the world and the first documented case in Australia. The discovery, published in the scientific journal Aquatic Mammals, has left researchers excited as they hope to learn more about this unique condition through genetic sampling and further observation.
