It was the coolest thing ever! As you can see, the dolphins are actually more grey than pink, but the river is a dark red so when the dolphins pass by underwater they look bright pink. Their skin feels exactly like that of dolphins found in the ocean, kind of like a smooth, rubbery feel. The Amazon dolphins have very tiny eyes to the point that I wonder if they are blind since the river water is so dark, it's probably very difficult for them to see underwater anyway. I thought it was so cool that we were allowed to swim with them since they are technically an endangered species. I feel like people in this region of Brazil are more trusting and know that the intention of the people who come here is not to harm them. I couldn't imagine the U.S. allowing anything like this to happen, but this experience was truly incredible!
