” Indus River Dolphin was the first discovered side-swimming cetacean.
Also known as the “bhulan,” is one of the world’s most endangered cetaceans. They are closely related to the Ganges River dolphin, also known as the “susu.” Their eyes are so small that scientists believe they are functionally blind, sensing only the levels and direction of light.”
