Amazon River Dolphin (Boto)

The Amazon River Dolphin, also known as the boto, is a freshwater dolphin found primarily in the Amazon River and its tributaries in South America. They are known for their distinctive pink coloration, which can vary based on their activity and environmental factors. Botos are highly intelligent and social creatures, often seen swimming alone or in small groups. They play a vital role in their ecosystem, helping to maintain the health of river systems. Unfortunately, they face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and fishing practices, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
