freshwater dolphin
Inland aquatic mammal
Freshwater dolphins are dolphins that live in rivers and lakes rather than oceans.
Several species exist across South America and Asia, including the Amazon river dolphin (pink dolphin) and the Ganges river dolphin.
They typically have longer snouts and poorer eyesight than their marine relatives, having adapted to murky waters: The freshwater dolphins of the Yangtze are critically endangered.
