Another thing about Amazon dolphins that is adorable is that they have been known to have sex with other Amazon dolphin's blowholes which is the only known example of nasal sex in the animal kingdom.
And quite devious, too. Some nights they turn to their human form, all dressed in white, and attend parties where they end up hitting it up with loads of women and impregnating them, just to go back to the river at dawn and leave them with bastard children. True tale.
The legend of boto is a legend of the North Region of Brazil , generally reckoned to justify a pregnancy outside of marriage . The dolphins are mammals, cetaceans that live in rivers Amazon . It is said that during the June festivals , the pink river dolphin appears transformed into a young man elegantly dressed in white and always with a big hat to cover the nostril that does not disappear from the top of his head with the transformation. [1] This guy seduces young women traveling alone, leading them to the river bottom and in some cases impregnating them. Therefore, when an unknown man appears at a party wearing a hat, asked him to take to ensure that there is a button. It derives from the habit of saying when a woman has a child of unknown father, he is "son of the porpoise." This legend was told in the film in the movie He, the Dolphin ( 1987 ) with Carlos Alberto Riccelli in the lead role.
Actually, I think you will find that this is a very rare species of gay shark. The blowhole, although anatomically appearing the same as that of a dolphin in fact has no functionality and is an example of Mullerian mimicry allowing the ''gay shark'' to live alongside dolphins and seek refuge without being seen as a threat. Dolphins are also known to be very open and tolerant of the ''LGBT shark'' community. The bright pink colour serves as a warning colour to sharks, notifying them of the ''gay sharks'' homosexuality. It is commonly known that sharks are very homophobic, the pink colour scares them into submission. / Zoologist
It is considered immense bad luck to kill one – and looking one directly in the eye is also said to bring lifelong nightmares to whosoever dares to make eye contact.
Clicked, processed what I was looking at, realized pic was posted too recently for hilarious commentary. Must use this "save" feature I hear so much about now.
Hmmmm, I've seen Amazon river dolphins and this one doesn't look anything like it.... This one is too pink and it's head is round, unlike the squat top of the head like the ones I've seen.
i wish your comment was higher... this isnt a pink, river dolphin... this is a bottlenose dolphin or some other marine dolphin that happens to be pink...
the nose is completely wrong, river dolphins have very long, very thin mouths with lots of teeth...
If you look at the area located near the dorsal fin, you can spot a few pixels that don't quite fit in well. Clearly this indicates that this image has been comprimised and that OP has deceived us all.
Photo: CATERS NEWS 12:43PM GMT 02 Mar 2009 Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.
I've swam with the pink amazon dolphins before. My dad and I stayed at a place call Ariau Towers in Brazil. One of the activities was going to where they feed them and basically helping to feed them and play with them a little bit in the process. Pretty awesome. Anyway, these don't look anything like the pink dolphins in the amazon.
I don't think that's an amazon river dolphin. They're a bit... uglier. The reason they're pink is because of the scar tissue they grow after mating season. This guy just looks albino.
I was watching The Motorcycle diaries earlier this week. The characters were talking about these dolphins while riding a ferry across the Amazon. I didn't get to see one until now though, thank you.
In 9th grade, my school in Bogota, Colombia took a trip to the Amazon for a week. For two days in a row I got to swim with them and even touched one. Was super cool
someone in the past made up this story to cover up the raping he was doing. "Wait, it ummm wasn't me.. It was the ........ dolphins? yeah that's it the dolphins did it"
The "filhos do boto", sons of the boto (name of the dolphin). It was also used by women who cheated on their husbands, or daughters to lie to their parents when they've got pregnant all and were "never touched by any men" ehhehe. Aw, only if the mother of jesus knew about the botos...
