The Australian humpback dolphin (Sousa sahulensis) is a species of humpback dolphin and the fourth recognized humpback dolphin species chronologically. The specific name sahulensis is derived from the Sahul Shelf, located between northern Australia and southern New Guinea, where the Australian humpback dolphins occur.[3]
The species was scientifically described on 31 July 2014 in the journal Marine Mammal Science.[4] This vulnerable species' population was estimated to be 10,000 mature individuals in 2015, with numbers declining because of habitat destruction.[1]
