Amazonian River Dolphin

The Amazonian River Dolphin, also known as the pink dolphin, is a freshwater dolphin species native to the rivers of the Amazon Basin. Unlike ocean dolphins, it has a robust body, a long, slender beak, and a distinctive pink color that develops with age. These intelligent mammals are adapted to murky river environments, using echolocation to navigate and find food. They are social creatures, often seen in groups, and play a vital role in maintaining the health of their aquatic ecosystems. Due to habitat loss and pollution, they are classified as endangered and require ongoing conservation efforts.
