Australian snubfin dolphins. They don't look so ugly to us, but then again, Andrew and I are hideous to behold ourselves.

A new species of dolphin dubbed the snubfin has been witnessed displaying some very unusual feeding behavior off the northern coast of Australia.
In time-honoured tradition, here are some slides from one of my talks. They're self-explanatory, but let me know if elaboration is required...
Let's face it, all the frickin' weird cetacean skulls we've looked at so far have belonged to frickin' weird cetaceans: sperm whales and river dolphins. Time for something less frickin' weird, though still frickin' weird, if you get my meaning. It's a boring old dolphin.
Bah, those are cute beasties! Here I was expecting something to curl my (dwindling supply of) hair. So they've got a bit of a snub nose -- still charming as heck.
Even if they were ugly (which they aren't! They're cute!), it's extremely rude of people to call them that.
Hmph!
Wow cool! My vote for World's Ugliest Dolphin goes to Don Shula though.
They kinda look like beluga whales (in the face, at least). Nothing ugly about that!
From what I saw in that video, my vote is for the boto river dolphin--that's the Amazonian pink one. And even so, it's really the particular one in the particular shot. Maybe it's just one ugly dolphin named Orville or something who's unattractive.
