A boto is a freshwater dolphin found in the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of South America. The term "boto" is derived from the Portuguese word for "dolphin," and in Spanish, it is known as boto or delphinidae. In Hebrew, it can be translated as דולפין נהרות. There are three species of river dolphins in the Amazon basin, but the most well-known is the Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), often simply referred to as the boto. These dolphins are known for their distinctive pink coloration, long snouts, and flexible necks, which allow them a wide range of motion. They play a significant role in the local ecosystem and are also prominent in regional mythology and folklore, often being depicted as shape-shifters or tricksters.
Wikipedia Information
Boto
Type of South American dolphin
Boto is a Portuguese name given to several types of dolphins and river dolphins native to the Amazon and the Orinoco River tributaries. A few botos exist exclusively in fresh water, and these are often considered primitive dolphins. The Boto dolphin is usually pink in color and tends to become more pink in age. The degree of pinkness would be a sign of maturity in males and could therefore have the same display function as antlers in red deer or the tusk in narwhals. They become more pink in age because of scar tissue that takes over their whole body. They also lose some of their pigment throughout their adolescence, turning them light pink.
