Amazonas06 - 195 * The Boto, Amazon River Dolphin or Pink River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) is a freshwater or river dolphin. It is endemic to the Amazon River and Orinoco River systems. The Boto is the largest of the river dolphins. This species is not to be confused with the Tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), whose range overlaps that of the Boto, but which is not a true river dolphin. (Wikipedia)

Although famous for its pink colour, not all botos are pink. Youngsters start life a dark grey, and become lighter with age. Truly pink dolphins are almost always adult males, and we now know that the pinkness is caused by scarring. Many adult males are almost completely covered with scars caused by fighting with other males, so they appear pink. (Projeto Boto)
