An Irrawaddy dolphin was killed in a suspected shark attack in Negros Occidental over the weekend. Lumba project, a center for research and engagement on critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphins found in Bago and Pulupandan, posted the tragic fate of the dolphin on Facebook last Tuesday. “We are disheartened to announce that one of our identified Irrawaddy dolphins, N-08 (also known as “Sheared with cut” or “Fuji” by researchers) died last Sunday, March 14,” the group said.
