So sad...I have once seen freshwater dolphins in Indus River...
As I told you that I live just 10 miles from river indus...
The construction of Dams and Barrages on rivers is the main culprit behind all the endangerment of freshwater sharks and dolphins...

Oh, that's cool! I remember reading that the Indus river dolphin are really rare, so that must have been a very special experience.
Yeah, we are really making a lot of problems for the sharks and dolphins with all the dams and barrages. Still, it's the only way for some areas to get electricity, so I get why they are being built, but it's very bad news for the marine animals :(
Indus river dolphins are rare. They are commonly known as known as bhulan in our region. They eyes don't develop lens so also known as blind dolphin. If any one want further info about Indus river Dolphin. just click the link below

I didn't know that they were blind; that's a pretty interesting fact! Thanks for the info, @kamchore :)
