Pink Dolphins are actually the Amazon River Dolphin, which is a freshwater river dolphin found in the Amazon rivers in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia and Venezuela. Pink Dolphins have a number of different nomers including: Boto, Boutu, Pink Freshwater Dolphin, or Pink Porpoise, Pink River Dolphin or Amazon River Dolphins.

While most people assume the Pink Dolphin is closely related to their ocean counterparts they are actually only distantly related to Sea Dolphins. In fact Pink Dolphins, actually belong to a different genus family. Ocean dolphins belong to “delphindae”, while river dolphins belong to “platanistoidea”.

You're right, Majento - pink dolphin is a species of fresh water dolphin. They are found in the Amazon basin, and are related to sea dolphins, but belong to a distinct family.

A curious fact about pink dolphins is that their brain capacity is about 40% larger than that of humans.
