The Amazon River Dolphin goes through a journey of adoptions caused by climate change/pollution in the South American rainforest rivers. Once thriving in clean waters, their habitat undergoes a drastic change by pollution/rising waters that alter the landscape. Their remarkable adaptations, from unfused neck vertebrae for navigation to a large brain for intelligence and survival skills, for the river ecosystem. However, climate change demands the dolphin to change. Its new adaptations are, its blowhole is adapted with a pollution filter, sharper teeth for breaking trash, a shorter snout to avoid getting tangled in trash and a filter in it's stomach if it eats some trash/something polluted. These adaptations showcase the Amazon River Dolphin's resilience/ability to equip the environment for survival with the challenges of climate change/pollution. The dolphin's journey through the need for adaptive strategies in navigating polluted waters, ensuring their endurance in changing environments.
