The Boto, also known as the Amazon River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), is a captivating species that inhabits the freshwater rivers and tributaries of the Amazon Basin. This unique dolphin, frequently referred to as the Amazon Pink Dolphin, is renowned for its strikingly pink skin, which can range from a light blush to a deep rose hue. Its coloration is one of the most distinctive features of this freshwater cetacean. The Boto is also sometimes called the Amazon River Pink Dolphin or simply the Pink Dolphin due to its vibrant appearance. These dolphins are adapted to life in the murky waters of the Amazon, with flexible necks that allow them to navigate through the dense aquatic vegetation and hunt for fish. They possess a complex set of vocalizations that facilitate communication in the often-turbid waters where visibility is low. The Boto’s playful behavior and intelligence make it a fascinating subject of study and a beloved figure in local folklore. As a key species in the Amazon ecosystem, the Amazon River Dolphin plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of its habitat. However, the Boto is also facing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and human activities, which have made conservation efforts vital to its survival. The scientific name Inia geoffrensis reflects its classification within the family Iniidae, and it is an essential part of biodiversity in one of the world's most diverse and endangered ecosystems. Whether referred to as the Amazon River Dolphin, Pink Dolphin, or Boto, this remarkable creature symbolizes the rich natural heritage of the Amazon and underscores the need for ongoing conservation efforts.
