The Pink River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) are friendly, sensitive, mammals with a brain capacity 40% larger than that of humans. Considered to be one of the least threatened species of dolphins 20 years ago, it has now become endangered due to the accelerated and destruction of the South American tropical rainforest and the Amazon basin. Because Amazon River dolphins do not have any natural predators other than humans, they do not need to live in large groups for protection as many dolphin species do. Pink River Dolphins employ solitary hunting and feeding strategies or they are found in small groups of five to eight animals led by a dominant adult male. However at river confluences, as many as 35 animals will cooperatively herd and bank fish.
