"When I was on my way to Sunken Reef, I suddenly saw a group of ten Pacific humpback dolphins, among them this small upturned dolphin. He played and jumped out of the water. In the picture. photo, it looks like it is smiling , ' Schmidt told Townsville Bulletin on September 19.

The upturned nasal dolphins are highly social species , often swimming in flocks of 50 to 100 animals, but they belong to the group of endangered animals due to the habitat destroyed by coastal construction projects. This mammal has a unique appearance with a round head and stout body.

According to National Geographic, in 2009, researchers discovered the upturned dolphin dolphins turn the water through the fish after putting them to the water. This way of hunting helps them get fish into smaller groups that are easier to attack.

The upturned dolphin dolphin is one of three specific dolphin species of Australia. Schmidt said it was the second time she had encountered the fish for 12 years working in the Hinchinbrook Island area.
