Beachgoers in South Carolina recently stumbled upon an eerie, skeleton-like dolphin sprawled across the sand, where it may have been slowly drying out for months. One expert suggests that the animal may have accidentally become stranded after deliberately beaching itself. On Jan. 14, the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network (LMMN) received a call about a "mummified dolphin" near Hilton Head Island, the organization's representatives wrote in a Facebook post .

He took it to Jess Heath, a veterinarian, for further investigation. Heath conducted X-ray scans that revealed that the frozen hair ball was a young, curled-up Arctic ground squirrel . It likely died in hibernation, possibly during its first year. “We could see that it was in great condition and it was just curled up like it was sleeping,” Heath told CBC. “I’m really impressed that someone recognized it for what it was. From the outside, it just kind of looks like a brown blob. It looks a b...
