Okay, here’s where it gets wild. Did you know some dolphins live in rivers? Not the sea—actual, muddy, freshwater rivers. Say hello to the Amazon river dolphin, aka the pink dolphin. They’re pink. I’m not kidding.
These guys live in the murky waters of the Amazon River basin. They’re basically the hipsters of the dolphin family. They swam upstream millions of years ago and just… never left. Now they’re stuck in brown water, wearing a permanent blush. Could you imagine? No salt, no waves, just you and the piranhas.

The Temperature Thing
Here’s a fun fact: dolphins are super sensitive to temperature. Most of them prefer warm water. That’s why you see them in tropical spots like Florida, the Bahamas, or Hawaii. They’re basically the marine version of tourists who refuse to leave the resort.
But there are exceptions. The orca (yes, that’s a dolphin, not a whale) lives everywhere from the tropics to the freezing Arctic. How? They’re built like tanks with extra blubber. Imagine wearing a snowsuit forever. Not cute, but effective.
