The Indus River Dolphin: A Redefined Species
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2021
- For years, many have raised a question about whether river dolphins in South Asia-which live on either side of Indian sub-continent-are the same species or different species. New analysis by an international team has answered this once and for all.
Животные
To be honest, the South-Asian River Dolphins is the most freakiest dolphins, with those small beady eyes, and long sharp jagged teeth. It looked more like a Pliosaur(like the predator x) than a dolphin, when looking at their face.
Let's hope and work towards these 2 species not becoming extinct.
Sad Yangtze River Dolphin noises.
Excellent work! ❤
Very cool thanks
Love it job well done.these animals are important to their environment. And should be given the same rights we have.
This is cool!
Great
Hope Indus dolphin to be saved in river beas in India too😢❤

Shared.
may i please get any contact , as i am seeking permission for the usage of the footage on gangetic dolphin for a documentary on mother ganga
Nice
Now we have river sharks. Bull sharks can thrive in fresh water and some have traveled as far up the Mississippi River to places like st.louis and Chicago
Yeah, but realistically, it will only be pups(or
They are extremely hard to spot. I have seen one surfacing only once in my entire life.
I love the Ganges River dolphins & NOAA
This really breaks my heart ! I don’t want to lose these animals like we lost The Chinese BAIJI dolphins in the Great Yatze river of China ! We must enable breeding in a controlled environment for them and then release them into reclaimed river bodies
I agree but it's a lot harder than you'd expect
Yeah same is happening in Yamuna soo dirty
Good idea but where are their eyes I don't see 🤔??
@@darkphenix6769 they don't have eyes! They use echolocation to guide themselves through the muddy waters
@@Chilam. thanks for telling me
Hey my husband works for the same company!
I love Dolphins 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋
How much would a preserved skull cost? With all the skin and lacquered? I am paying in US dollars
It is truly heartbreaking to see what has happened to these beautiful dolphins and make sure they get fish first. Humans are greedy and the dolphins need the fish to survive. We just eat anything that can't get away. Like the pangolin. 😡. I hope they help them I really do.
No one eat dolphins in india. India has already breeding center of dolphins.We are not british to harm everyone for money
I always knew the whole obliterating of the Indus River Dolphin as a separate species was nothing but the naked agenda of indian hindu nationalists..
It took this woman to come in and set the record straight.. hats off to her.. in fact both these two women are heroes.
Indus drainage system also extends over India and these Dolphins can be found in those regions. Their dwindling numbers are due to construction of barrages and irrigation canals on the river system. I don't see how you claim it to be a religious agenda.
@@abhedvadi Trying to hijack a different species and claiming its the same as another species has absolutely nothing to do with if some tiny tip of the Indus basin extends into territory administered by india or not.
The Indus River Dolphin of Pakistan is an entirely separate species from India's Ganges River Dolphin. Infact the difference is visible to the naked eye.
Its indian/hindu nationalists who try to hijack these distinctions because the central theme behind the idea of indian/hindu nationalism is that everything Pakistani is like everything indian, and if it isn't, then it needs to forcefully be made into one in the same. Because if truth were allowed to prevail, then indian/hindu nationalism would have nothing to fall back on, and would essentially disintegrate.
So glad to see hindu nationalist agenda collapsing everywhere.
@@user-zv8js6wt2y The Indus river dolphins are found in the Beas river in India Punjab too. This isn't surprising as the Punjab river system is connected to the Indus. So I don't see how the Indus dolphins are exclusively a Pakistani species. The dolphin is the state aquatic animal of Punjab. I'm Punjabi myself.

@@vir4193 Yes I heard 2 Indus River Dolphins swam up the Baes into Indian territory and Indian nationalists are having a field day over this.
But you guys seriously need some read comprehension skills.
The video says the Indus River dolphin is a SEPARATE species than the Ganges river dolphin, being that you crazy Indian nationalists have, since the 90s campaigned to have them considered as the same species as the Ganges river dolphin,, which they are not.
No one said that 1 or 2 dolphins can't swim out of Pakistan.
The point is the two dolphins are separate species from one another and there is no such thing as the "south asian River dolphin" unless Indian nationalists want to reserve that name for the Ganges river dolphin being that the Ganges river dolphin also inhabits the karnapuli river system in Bangladesh.
The Indus River Dolphin of Pakistan is altogether separate species.
@@user-zv8js6wt2y When did I say the two Dolphins are the same species?
The historical distribution of the Indus Dolphin was the entire Indus river and its tributaries, including the rivers of Pubjab.
The Dolphins didn't just "swim up" the beas, but have been swimming through the Beas for 1000s of years as the Beas and other rivers are a part of its historical distribution.
The Indus Dolphin is native to the Beas and other Indus tributaries.
Today it has been reduced to less than 20% of its former distribution.
The fact that it still inhabits and breeds in the Beas, one of its former territories, is great.
Punjab(India) is a part of the Indus Dolphins historical distribution, that's why it still exists in the Beas.
The Punjab government is now working on a project to conserve the Dolphins.
The Gharial crocodile was re introduced to Punjab in the last few years by the Punjab government and has since spread throughout the Beas river. Gharials went extinct in Punjab a few decades back.
The Punjab government is now working on the Indus Dolphin in the Beas so it can flourish in the rivers that it once lived in the past.
I don't care about South Asian politics, I was born in the West and grew up in the West, South Asian politics is irrelevant to me! You can keep that to yourself!
The Indus river is the mother of all rivers Indus river dolphin different from other
i grew up upper indus river area and during my youth age i witness verity of fish species, different fish during different of the year would come for spawning (laying eggs) in that area because of gravel bed or bottom of the river, which givin us chance to catch fish all year around, within last 10-15 years just all the fish got vanished, they are gone most likely from the face of earth, coz of over fishing with sweep and gills nets, use of explosive, dumping of sewage chemicals used motor oil and dams and diversion of water.
Wtf why do people do that?!?!
@@smokes3974 Illiteracy, over population, lawlessness and no plan or protection by government.

I am very happy in pakistan the population of these have increased to 1100 very great news
I am from Sukkur sindh, when I was child, these dolphins were seen after a minute or 2 for few seconds and then disappear in water but now they are very rarely seen in sukkur side indus river
