Hummer

LA02 Hummer-Tursiops truncatus

A male bottlenose dolphin was reported on October 15th in Cameron Parish in a very shallow stagnating ditch alongside a state highway. The stagnant water had an oily substance on its surface. There was no need to use a net to catch the animal, as the area was so small.

It was rescued and released on October 16th, 2005 by the TMMSN.
