If there is something that the locals of the Jungle can be proud of, it is of course the Amazon River. This wonder of nature, the largest in the world, keeps in its depths the most exotic animals in the world and a long list of animals in danger of extinction, for this reason the Amazon River remains under the protection of both the local government and the organizations dedicated to the care of animals of this category.

Amazon River

One of the animals that inhabit the famous Amazon River is the famous Pink Dolphin. This animal is pink, friendly, social and curious by nature. The pink dolphin is also known as Boto, Tonina or Amazon dolphin, because it lives in the river of the same name, although it also inhabits the Orinoco basins and the upper part of the Madeira River in Bolivia.

It is the most popular of the five species of river-dwelling dolphins due to its unusual color, as well as being the largest species.
