AN ENDANGERED ANIMAL

  PINK DOLPHIN

   

 My favourite edangered animal is the pink dolphin.The Amazon river dolphin ,also known as the boto ,bufeo or pink river dolphin,is a species of toothed whale classified in the family Iniidae.The Amazon river dolphin is the largest species of river dolphin,with adult males reaching 185kilograms in weight,and 2.5metres,in length.Adult acquire a pink color,more prominent in males,giving it its nickname "pink river dolphin". The eat river turtles and freshwater crabs.The pink river dolphin are endangered by the illegal fishing.All pink river dolphin are very vulnerable.The fishermen kill them to use their meat as bait.The river dolphin are smaller than the sea dolphin.Pink dolphin seem to be the kindest among all river dolphins when they are close to humans.
