Learn about the dolphin's habitat in both river and ocean environments, its remarkable echolocation abilities, and the critical role it plays as a keystone species. The duo also discusses the urgent conservation efforts needed to save this charming species and how listeners can contribute. Throughout the episode, hear about the cooperative behaviors with local fishermen, the challenges posed by unnatural threats like dams and overfishing, and the global push to improve the dolphins' chances of survival.
