The carcasses of 120 river dolphins have been found floating in a tributary of the Amazon River over the last week in circumstances that experts suspect were caused by severe drought and heat. — Reuters picMANAUS, Oct 3 — The carcasses of 120 river dolphins have been found floating in a tributary of the Amazon River over the last week in circumstances that experts suspect were caused by severe drought and heat.
Amid the stench of decomposing dolphins, biologists and other experts in white personal protective clothing and masks continued yesterday to recover the dead mammals from a lake and conduct autopsies on the carcasses to determine the cause of death. The water temperature declined for a few days but rose again on Sunday to 37°C, worried experts said.
Roughly eight of every 10 carcasses are pink dolphins, called “botos” in Brazil, which could represent 10 per cent of their estimated population in Lake Tefé, she said.
