Subject: Red-billed Tucan.
Amazonas06 - 198 * In a traditional Amazon River myth, at night a Boto becomes a handsome young man who seduces girls, impregnates them, then returns to the river in the morning to become a Boto again. This dolphin shapeshifter is called an encantado. It is said that there are hundreds of people today whose birth certificates have the Boto listed as the father. It has been suggested that the myth arose partly because dolphin genitalia bear a resemblance to that of humans. (Wikipedia)
