Inia

Inia, commonly known as the Amazon river dolphin, is a freshwater dolphin species native to the Amazon Basin in South America. It is known for its distinctive pink coloration and is adapted to murky river habitats, thriving in slow-moving waters. Inia are highly intelligent, social animals that communicate through complex sounds and use echolocation to navigate and find food. They play a vital role in their ecosystem by helping control fish populations. Due to habitat loss and pollution, Inia populations are threatened, and conservation efforts are important to protect this unique and ecologically significant dolphin.
