Incredibly Rare Irrawaddy Dolphin

At first glance, the dolphin seems to look normal. But, looking at it for a few seconds, the dolphin seems like a weird yet cute cartoon character. This kind of dolphin is called Irrawaddy. Only 92 Irrawaddy Dolphins are said to still survive. A bulging forehead, a small beak, and 12-19 teeth on each side of both jaws distinguish these dolphins. Irrawaddy dolphins go back and forth between saltwater and freshwater habitats. They may weigh up to 400 pounds (181 kilograms) and grow up to 8 feet long (2.4 m). They are regarded as sluggish swimmers.
