Salutations! May I please kindly request some boto dolphins? Thanks in advance and also thanks for running this blog! :)

Amazon River Dolphin or Boto (Inia geoffrensis), family Iniidae, found in freshwater river basins of northern South America

ENDANGERED.

Largest species of river dolphin in the world, reaching 185 kg (408 lb) in weight, and 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in length.

Males are larger than females

Adults become pink(ish), which is more pronounced in males.

They have the widest ranging diet of any of the toothed cetaceans, feeding on a wide variety of small aquatic animals.

Also look at this neat little drawing I found in an old sketchbook! A Boto/Amazon river dolphin looking up at the sun breaking through the rainforest canopy. Mayhaps a nice idea for a painting some day.

Not as diverse as some other places he have hit and yet, we weren't even able to put in all the crocs.
