"A rare Irrawaddy Dolphin, only 92 are estimated to still exist."

"These dolphins have a bulging forehead, short beak, and 12-19 teeth on each side of both jaws."
And this is exactly why it's so important to celebrate days like this. The more people know about these kinds of things, the more people will decide to help these amazing animals.

And this is just fun to know about lol.
