Bright River Dolphin - Pientere Rivierdolfijn

The river dolphin likes mercy waters to hide in, which also make it difficult for the dolphin to see. Its use of sonar sounds make it extremely well adapted to regions that are not accessible to other dolphins or predators. River doplhins are also very intelligent and its young are curious right from birth.

Characteristics: independent, intelligent and curious
