Rare Dolphin with Thumbs Found in Greek Waters

Researchers from the Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute discovered a dolphin off the coast of Greece with strange, hooked thumbs carved out of its flippers. This is the first time such a flipper anomaly has been observed in 30 years of surveys in the open sea. The deformity is likely the result of rare and irregular genes that emerged from constant interbreeding. While all dolphins have thumbs, they are usually concealed by their flippers. The thumbed dolphin in question is missing fingers and some tissue that would usually encase them, but it is still thriving.
