The pink river dolphin
The Amazon dolphin is famous for its pink colour and is the largest freshwater dolphin in the world. They are born grey and slowly turn pink with increasing age. Their colour is influenced by their behaviour, capillary placement, nutrition and exposure to sunlight. The dolphins can be anywhere from mostly grey with a few pink spots, to almost flamingo pink. The males are much larger than the females and usually have a stronger pink colouration.
There are also many legends about the pink dolphin in the Amazon region. Many people tell stories that the dolphins become handsome men during the night to seduce the women of the village.
Sadly, the dolphin is still being hunted and used as bait for fishing.
Cute dolphin ^.^ i love pink and i love animals XD

It is one of my dreams to swim with dolphins :)
In Manaus you can swim with them! They only feed the dolphins on a few days so that they don't forget how to hunt. After I took the photos, I went into the water and there were three dolphins swimming around and under me. They are so agile and fast.
I am so jealous!! (: I am in fact looking for this kind of experience where the dolphins decide by themselves to swim with you or not. It doesn't look fair when they are captured and have no choice even if they don't like you :) It seems they are taken good care at the place you have been
Yes, but it is always good to inform yourself before visiting such a place. There are a lot of people out there who don't respect the days without food.
I see. I hope they realize that they do harm to the dolphins one day..
