Pink Dolphin Sighting
Personal memory by Felipe De Francisco
2003 • Amazonas Department, Colombia
In the year 2003, I went with my school to the Amazon in Colombia. While we were sailing in the amazonian river, we had the opportunity to witness a few pink dolphins swimming by our side. It was an amazing opportunity to witness an animal like that. Nowadays, it is said that their population has declined around 81% between 1970 and 2012.
