The Irrawaddy Dolphin

spirit animal

#   These dolphins have a bulging forehead, short beak and 12-19 teeth on each side of both jaws.

#   The Irrawaddy Dolphin is similar to the Beluga in appearance, though most closely related to Killer Whales.

#   Communication is carried out with clicks, creaks and buzzes at a dominant frequency, which is thought to be used for Echolocation.

#   They eat boney fish and fish eggs, cephalopods and crustaceans.

#   The Irrawaddy Dolphin is a slow swimmer, but can swim at speeds of 12-16mph.

#   These dolphins are found in groups of 1-3 animals, though sometimes as many as 25 individuals and have been known to congregate in deep pools.

#   Travelling and staying in groups creates and maintains social bonds.
