As one of the most fascinating creatures of the Amazon rainforest, the Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) has a unique appearance and special biological characteristics, always attracting the attention of scientists and tourists.

1. The Amazon River Dolphin has a unique pink color. Unlike ocean dolphins, the Amazon River Dolphin is gray when young and gradually turns pink as it matures. This color is caused by the blood vessels under the skin becoming more visible. Photo: Pinterest.

2. Can swim backwards. Unlike most other dolphins , this species can move both forward and backward in the water thanks to its flexible bone structure, which helps them easily move through shallow or obstacle-filled areas. Photo: Pinterest.
