The Ganges River dolphin is a fully freshwater species, residing exclusively in the rivers of India, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
This species has highly developed echolocation abilities, navigate the murky river waters and hunt for prey in low-visibility environments.
The Ganges River dolphin has poor eyesight due to the muddy water in its habitat.
The Ganges dolphin has a long, pointed snout with sharp teeth that help it catch fish and other small aquatic animals.
The Ganges dolphin is known for its unique swimming style, often moving sideways or in a serpentine manner due to its lack of a dorsal fin.
Due to habitat degradation, pollution, and human activities, these dolphins are listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
