Intersting facts: river dolphins are usually born dark - as they get older, they turn into pink colour | river dolphins love swimming in the trees in the flooded jungle | some local tribes protect them, because they think that killing of inia will make them unlucky | river dolphis are much more flexible, than ocean dolphins. They can even catch their tail with their mouth! | river dolphins have whiskers! | some belive, that river dolphins are almost completely blind, using only echolocation for orientation.
Legend: Amazonian tribes belive, that male river dolphin sometime leaves the river and turns into the very handsome man. Dressed in white suit and white hat, he visits party in the village and dances with the most beautiful girl. He seduces her and then returns to the river, turning to the dolphin again...
