They roll around wave their flippers, and more. They have been known to reach out for the paddles of boats too. They aren’t afraid to get close to boats to see them. They are very playful though and extremely curious. The Amazon River Dolphin also can’t swim as fast as other species. They may have to migrate during various times of the year to be able to avoid those locations where the water can get too low. The depth of the water plays a vital role where the Amazon River Dolphin is able to survive though. They tend to stick to areas where they have warm enough water and they are able to find enough food for survival. There are those that stick to the main river area and those that survive in a river mouth.
Some of them live below waterfalls and others live in channels. This tends to section them off into various habitat elements in the river. There are also some parts of the rivers that prove to not have enough water in them for these dolphins to get across them. They may not be able to get around waterfalls in some areas. However, the environment they live in that is provided by the rivers can create limits for them. The distribution for them is about 7 million square miles. They are found in many locations out there including Peru, Guyana, Bolivia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Columbia. They are able to live up to 1,865 miles from the shoreline which is very amazing. If you aren’t familiar with these rivers, they are located in South America. The basins of the Amazon River and the Orinoco River is where you will find these dolphins living in the wild. Their body allows them to move through the trees and other items in their habitat that may be found in a river. The males can weigh close to 400 pounds with the females around 330 pounds. Males can be up to 8 feet long and for the females they can be about 7 feet long. The Amazon River Dolphin is also the largest of those that live in the rivers.
They can move their head in more directions than any other dolphin species. That is the result of some of the vertebrae in the neck not being fused. One of the unique features of this dolphin is that they have a flexible neck. They can be gray, blue, or white in color.
