Ganges River dolphin

The Ganges River dolphin is a freshwater dolphin species native to the Ganges and Brahmaputra river systems in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Recognized by its pinkish coloration and rounded head, it is adapted to murky river waters, relying heavily on echolocation to navigate and find food. As an endangered species, its population is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and dam construction. These dolphins are social animals, often seen in groups, and play a vital role in maintaining healthy river ecosystems. Conservation efforts focus on habitat protection and pollution control to ensure their survival.
