Description:
Living in a habitat no other dolphin could colonize, and endowed with a coloring scientists cannot explain (some say the dolphins turn pink with age, while others say they flush with excitement), the pink dolphins of the Amazon have long intrigued both the native population and the scientific community. The naturalist Sy Montgomery followed the dolphins on four separate journeys, each time exploring another aspect of their scientific, mythic, and cultural importance.
Expand description
In Journey of the Pink Dolphins, Montgomery traces the history of the species over 15 million years, and discusses the conflicts about conservation in the Amazon that are affecting their fate today. Her fascination with the local legend that the dolphins carry human souls to an enchanted world beneath the sea draws her into a world of shamans, and, as she swims with the creatures themselves, she experiences first-hand why they exert such a magical pull on all who are lucky enough to even catch a glimpse of them.
