Amazonian Pink Dolphin

The Amazon river dolphins are known as the "pink dolphins" although they range in color depending on their age. Juveniles are dark gray on the dorsal side, lighter gray on the ventral side. As they mature, the ventral side and flanks turn pink.
Amazonian indigenous folklore hails the Amazon river dolphin, as sacred leading to the belief that hunting and killing them would bring bad luck, therefore the dolphins were somewhat protected.
