Rare Pink Dolphins
The rare pink dolphins are disappearing from the waters unless scientist persevere them. This Species is believed to exist from the east coast of India and toward Australasia. There are multiple threats to the dolphins by, trying to catch the pink dolphins, other animals eating them, and pollution in the water. The government is building them a new habitat so the dolphins will multiply. There are people gold mining in their river that is also killing the dolphins. This article is by National Geographic.

The increase of traffic in the Amazon River, also threatens these creatures as they are curious by nature and they sometimes approach vessels where they are easily hurt by the sharp propellers.
