Listen Later

Have you ever imagined a world where pink dolphins roam the rivers, not just in animated films but in real life? It’s true! In this fascinating and fun-filled episode of Fur Real, I’m joined by Professor Susana Caballero, an expert on these remarkable creatures. Get ready to be amazed as we dive deep into the world of freshwater dolphins, learning that there are actually six dolphin species and one porpoise that call freshwater rivers home.

Professor Caballero reveals incredible facts about these majestic mammals, including how pink dolphins—yes, actual pink dolphins—can blush like humans, turning even pinker when they’re excited! We explore the Amazon Basin and other corners of South America and Asia where these dolphins thrive, uncovering enchanting local myths and legends along the way.

Here’s a taste of what’s in store: One myth claims that if you swim at night, pink dolphins will whisk you away to a magical underwater city, never to return! And don’t miss the legend of the “Boto Encantado.” These dolphins, also called “Botos,” are said to transform into irresistibly handsome men under the cover of night, charming and sometimes even impregnating unsuspecting women.

With captivating stories and surprising science, this episode will make you fall in love with these unique freshwater wonders. Don't miss it—tune in and let the magic of the pink dolphins sweep you away!
