The Amazon River Dolphin of Venezuela
Local inhabitants of the Orinoco River basin in Venezuela, the Amazon River Dolphin is distinctly recognizable by its pinkish hue and long snouts.
A highly adaptable freshwater dolphin, its endangerment is due to habitat loss, pollution, and fishing gear entanglement.
Culturally, these dolphins are often associated with local myths and legends, such as the boto encantado
Carved from a 2016 Venezuela 500 Bolivar Fuerte banknote, the body of the Amazon River dolphin is reworked with pieces from all around the world.
