Mekong River Dolphins
The Mekong River Dolphin is a freshwater dolphin species found primarily in the Mekong River basin, particularly in Cambodia and Laos. These dolphins are known for their distinctive grayish color and rounded bodies, which can grow up to 2.5 meters long. They are social animals, often seen in small groups, and are known for their playful behavior.
Mekong River Dolphins are critically endangered, with their population declining due to habitat loss, fishing practices, and pollution. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique creatures and their habitat, highlighting the importance of preserving the Mekong River ecosystem.
