Ganges River Dolphin

Scientists on Wednesday unveiled a 16 million-year-old fossil skull unearthed in Peru of a river dolphin that once swam in waters that are now the Amazon, and whose closest living relative is the South Asian river dolphin in India's Ganges River.

Plastic pollution from discarded fishing gear in the Ganges River poses a threat to wildlife such as the critically endangered three-striped roofed turtle and the endangered Ganges river dolphin, according to an international team, including researchers from the Wildlife Institute of India.

An elusive Ganges river dolphin was rescued in Uttar Pradesh yesterday after it lost its way and became stranded in a canal.

A video that is being widely circulated on social media shows the elusive Ganges river dolphin swimming near Meerut in Uttar Pradesh.

To protect the endangered Gangetic river dolphins, West Bengal will soon have the country's first community reserve for the mammal.

A freshwater dolphin was found dead on the banks of the Ganges river here, officials said on Monday.

River pollution due to extensive use of pesticides is dangerous for the critically endangered Ganges river dolphin, India's national aquatic animal, says an expert.
