Amazon River Dolphin

Amazon River Dolphins, also known as pink dolphins, primarily live in the freshwater river systems of the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America. They are often found in rivers and lakes throughout these regions. Overfishing affects Amazon river dolphins by taking away their primary food sources, such as fish, which can lead to their population decreasing. Additionally, overfishing can disrupt the ecological balance of their habitat, making it more difficult for them to find food and survive due to murky waters. They navigate and hunt using echolocation, which helps them find food in murkier water, even when their usual prey is scarce. Echolocation works by dolphins emitting sound waves and listening to echoes that bounce back to them from objects. This helps them locate their surroundings. So, my future creatures will have enhanced echolocation to help them navigate the overfished waters in the Amazon river basin.
