📰 New Protected Area Helps Indus River Dolphins Recover
🐬 Pakistan: A newly established protected area is providing greater protection for the endangered Indus River dolphin, one of the world's most threatened freshwater mammals.
🌊 Expanded habitat safeguards are helping conserve critical stretches of the Indus River, supporting the survival of a species found nowhere else on Earth, and deeply associated with the cultural and natural identity of the river.
🌱 This conservation success highlights the importance of protected waterways in preserving freshwater biodiversity. It also shows the importance of maintaining ecological connections across river systems.

Amazon River Dolphin Silhouette by Hussain Aga Khan, Switzerland
#Botos look very unusual compared to other dolphins, with incredibly long rostra, with vestigial hairs on them, tiny eyes and thick bodies.

3D models show #dolphins already used narrow-band sound waves for orientation 5 million years ago https://phys.org/news/2024-07-3d-dolphins-narrow-band-million.html
Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long-snouted dolphin https://anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.25538
They colonized rivers, which links them to today's rare and endangered #RiverDolphins. Investigating the sensory systems of toothed #whales can help to understand the influence of habitat on their hearing and the evolutionary dynamics of marine mammals.

Ancient giant dolphin discovered in the Amazon https://phys.org/news/2024-03-ancient-giant-dolphin-amazon.html
The largest freshwater #odontocete: A South Asian river #dolphin relative from the proto-Amazonia https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk6320
"#RiverDolphins are among the rarest modern #cetaceans, with most extant species critically endangered. Despite their similar appearance, however, these animals are not directly related, but represent the late survivors of different #cetacean groups that once inhabited our planet."
