Pink dolphins, also known as Amazon river dolphins or botos, are freshwater dolphins found in the Amazon and Orinoco river basins. Their pink color becomes more vibrant as they age, especially in males, and can vary from pale pink to bright blush. These intelligent, playful creatures are known for their long snouts, flexible necks, and curious nature. Sadly, they face threats from habitat loss and pollution, making their protection more important than ever. Credit unknown Please DM us for credit
