The Pink River Dolphin, Inia geoffrensis, is a freshwater river dolphin endemic to the Amazon River and Orinoco River systems. River dolphins or freshwater dolphins are four species of dolphin that inhabit freshwater rivers and estuaries. The largest of the river dolphins, the IUCN lists many other names ascribed to this species including Amazon Dolphin, Boto Vermelho, Boto Cor-de-Rosa, Bouto, Bufeo, Dauphin de l'Amazone, Inia, Pink Dolphin, Pink Freshwater Dolphin, Pink Porpoise, and Tonina. Of the freshwater species of dolphins in the world, the pink Amazon River dolphin are considered to be the most intelligent. They use their triangular pectoral fins to swim slowly over the river bed searching for crabs, fish and turtles with their echolocation. These dolphins live mostly solitary lives, but groups of up to 30 gather to feed. There are reports that Amazon river dolphins can stun prey with bursts of sound from the "melon" organ in their bulging forehead.
