Cool animal, its amazing he interacts, river dolphins are born pretty much blind since they don't need keen eyesight in murky rivers.
Gosh, arent Amazonian River Dolphins almost extinct? They should really find him a mate. And they shouldve found him a better name, you don't want to know what boto means in portugese....xD;
Aw, poor thing, all alone. The last thing I would want though is for them to capture another from the wild. Do you know the names of the zoos that have them? Ive never heard of any other zoo with an amazonian river dolphin.
omg its so cute! I love amazon river dolphins they so pretty. oh and was this one in a aquarium cus i have never seen one in an aquarium b4. great movie faved 5/5*
The yagantzee river dolphin and beautiful species became extinct in December 2006 became extinct mostly because of the boating oil anf fishing nets. :'( So sad

Amazon River Dolphins can see pretty well infact the only ones who have a good eyesight of all riverdolphin.
Amazon river dolphins are the least comcerned
with several thousands still alive (but still not that much)
There used to be more at this zoo, but the
last one died of old age recently.
Butu is the nickname I use for him, his real name is 'Baby' as he was a calf when he came to the zoo.
Finding a new companion for him is not as easy since there are not even a handful in captivity

He's really beautiful~
Cant understand the kids that are saying "And where're the real dolphins?"
Argh they don't know how special he is!
I fulfilled a dream and went there yesterday *_*
Those dolphins can live alone, the male ones are doing in nature as well~

You are welcome. I hope the River Dolphin has a partner, I hate the thought of them being gone forever.
