The Irrawaddy Dolphin is a unique species of dolphin found in coastal and freshwater regions of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Irrawaddy River and parts of the Bay of Bengal. Unlike many other dolphins, they have a rounded forehead and lack a beak, giving them a distinctive appearance. They are known for their playful behavior and can often be seen swimming in small groups. These dolphins prefer shallow waters and are often found in estuaries, lakes, and rivers. The Irrawaddy Dolphin is classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss, pollution, and accidental capture in fishing gear. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their populations and habitats.
