Lumpy (#17) - Lumpy, an adult male, received this affectionate name because of the multiple grooves found behind his dorsal fin. Lumpy has been seen since 2001 and we do not know how he received his injuries, but they make him easy to identify! Lumpy also made a cameo appearance beside Freckles in the large format film, DOLPHINS from MacGillivray Freeman Films.
