Amazon river dolphin

You can find more out about her, more about her on cymontgomery.com, her website.

And other of her titles include, let me just read some here, Walking with Great Apes, Spell of the Tiger, Journey of the Pink Dolphin, Adventures in Pursuit of a New Species, The Good Good Pig, which is actually a pig.

She was one of her actual pets.

Birdology, The Hummingbirds, like I mentioned, The Soul of an Octopus, which we will be talking with her a little bit about in the interview.

And it's one of the more remarkable places you can end up.

Pink River Dolphins.

Macaws.

The whole thing.

right? Am I

right? Anyway, science is still working on it, but we do know that somewhere in the Amazon, there are these majestic pink dolphins swimming through flooded forests, and occasionally one of them rolls onto its back and pisses into the sky, and another guy swims right over to investigate.

You know, nature's beautiful.

It is beautiful, and certainly mysterious.

Then there's the electric eel, capable of delivering powerful electrical discharges.

There are piranhas, giant freshwater stingrays, caimans, anacondas, giant snakes, and the legendary Pink River Dolphin, or the Boto.

The Boto is particularly interesting because Amazonian folklore doesn't simply portray it as an animal.

In some traditions, the Boto is believed to possess supernatural abilities and even transform into a human being.

That's the kind of folklore that immediately grabs my attention because around the world, aquatic creatures repeatedly occupy a strange place between the natural and the supernatural.

They are animals until suddenly they are something completely different.

Gosh, I'd love to go back to all of them.

I had a fantastic experience with pink dolphins in the Amazon.

And I wrote a book called Journey of the Pink Dolphins.

It was to that date the book that I was absolutely the most joyous researching and writing and promoting.

Everything about that book was amazing.

I would go back there in a New York minute.

But right now, as you may know, Um, the Amazon is in the throes of an El Nino event.

And the last time this happened, hundreds of pink dolphins died.
