Some people have said the carcass was of a Ganges River dolphin, which are generally found in India.

“I doubt that it lived in our waters. Most likely, the animal was brought by a warm current,” he said. “We often get tropical and subtropical species here and when they cool down they stay here and then die.
“I can confidently say that this is some kind of a dolphin.”
“However, it has fur. It’s unusual. Dolphins do not have any fur.”
