Ganga River Dolphin

The Ganga River Dolphin, also known as the South Asian freshwater dolphin or "Bhulan," is a unique species native to the Ganga, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra rivers in India and Bangladesh. It is an adaptive, blind dolphin that relies on echolocation to navigate and hunt for fish in muddy waters. Recognized for its pinkish-gray coloration, it plays a vital role in the river ecosystem. The species is endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and dam construction, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival. Protecting the Ganga Dolphin is essential for maintaining the health and biodiversity of the river systems.
