How do pink dolphins interact with people?
ANSWER from Imagiverse on 18 November 2006: In his Imagiverse Interview, Richard Murphy says: “One of my most memorable adventures was in the Amazon with the pink dolphins that live there. We discovered one of these dolphins in a small bay and put a net around the bay so we could study it. After spending a day conducting research on its behavior, breathing rate and other things, our dolphin experts left. Their research was done from land and I wanted to be with the dolphin in the water, in its world not mine. The water was only about 10 feet deep and relatively clear for the Amazon, maybe 5 feet visibility. I put on a heavy weight belt so I could just rest on the bottom as the dolphin was doing. I entered the water and just lay on the bottom next to the dolphin. It looked at me but seemed totally disinterested. After a couple of hours of staying close to the dolphin I returned with my underwater camera. I went down and snapped a picture. The dolphin acted as though a gun had gone off.
