Pfft. Hahaha.
This is absurd.
Does it still have internal ear structures? I don't think it can hear entirely through a layer of fat. A quick Internet search suggests dolphins hear using acoustic windows in their lower jaws, not purely through the "melon" organ of fat in their foreheads.

It's not using a melon, it's using what dolphins use but in a weird location. I'll clarify.

That baby is dangerously adorable. Also gives off trunko vibes with the white fur and such.
