Steinhatchee
The uniquely colored dolphin was supposed to be a “blond” bottlenose, but the colors came out a little off lol
I believe it was sometime around 1964 when several “blond” colored Bottlenose Dolphins were spotted near Steinhatchee, Florida (at least one was seen in the Steinhatchee River). Sadly, because this was before the Marine Mammal Protection Act was established, several of these dolphins (at least three) were captured and sold to a marine park.
But, who knows? Maybe there are still blond dolphins living in the waters around the Florida big bend...
