Pretty Pink Dolphins

We have a story this week called "Encantado: Pink Dolphin of the Amazon River".  So, we are basing our blog this week on the story.  The Pink Dolphin is a fresh water mammal.  It is pink because capillaries are so close to its skin .  We compared and contrasted the pink dolphin with an ocean dolphin and here's what we discovered;  Pink dolphins they don't have a actuall fin they have a bump.  Also, they swim in rivers ( fresh water ) and they are more flexible and don't come up from the water.  They live in the Amazon River.  Here's a video and a picture.

Also, we had a few students comment about the story.

Rachel:  I like the story because I just learned that Pink dolphins are endangered, and I would like to help them not be endangered.
