Inia geoffrensis (Amazon River dolphin)

Inia geoffrensis, commonly known as the Amazon River dolphin or boto, is a freshwater dolphin native to the Amazon and Orinoco River basins in South America. Recognizable by its pink coloration, long-beaked head, and slender body, it is adapted to life in complex river environments. These intelligent mammals use echolocation to navigate and hunt for fish in murky waters. They are social animals, often seen in small groups, but are currently threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and fishing activities, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
