Don't let Bush hear about it. They'll be dead in six months, for profit.

previously unknown dolphin swimming in the nation's southern
waters.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/dna-discovery-shows-lookalike-dolphin-is-one-of-a-new-breed/2008/11/19/1226770542476.html"><P>Until now it had been thought the world had just two species of
bottlenose dolphins. The common bottlenose, generally at home in
offshore waters, and the more coastal Indo-Pacific species, are
both found near Australia.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/dna-discovery-shows-lookalike-dolphin-is-one-of-a-new-breed/2008/11/19/1226770542476.html"><P>However, Macquarie and Monash university researchers, collecting
genetic samples from what they thought were coastal dolphins, made
an unexpected find. After DNA testing about 200 mammals off
Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania for a population study, the
scientists realised they were not coastal bottlenose dolphins at
all.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/dna-discovery-shows-lookalike-dolphin-is-one-of-a-new-breed/2008/11/19/1226770542476.html"><P>Such finds, said Dr Moller, were "pretty rare".

are not discovered very often. It shows we still have a lot to
learn about how many marine species are out there.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/dna-discovery-shows-lookalike-dolphin-is-one-of-a-new-breed/2008/11/19/1226770542476.html"><P>Dr Moller said she believed the limited range of the new species
