Indus River Dolphin
The Indus River Dolphin is a freshwater dolphin species found primarily in the Indus River system in Pakistan and parts of India. It is known for its distinctive long snout and rounded forehead, which gives it a unique appearance. These dolphins are typically grayish in color and can grow up to 2.5 meters in length. They are adapted to living in river environments, often navigating through shallow waters.
Indus River Dolphins are considered endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and entanglement in fishing nets. They rely on echolocation to find food, primarily consisting of fish and crustaceans. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitat and ensure the survival of this unique species.
