Description
An Instagram photo of a man holding a baby dolphin up above the surface of the water caused a public outcry and led to investigations by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Now they say a dead dolphin pup found near Amelia Island and Nassau Sound matches the one in the photo.
According to reporting by News4Jax, the FWC's report found a one-year-old, male dolphin pup dead in Nassau County which researchers agree matches the dolphin in the Instagram photo. They determined this by looking at the pup's dorsal fin, which is unique for each individual dolphin.
"The shape matches the one in the photo where the dolphins being held...so highly likely," said UNF Associate Professor Quincy Gibson in News4Jax's report.
