Irrawaddy Dolphins Swimming in the Mekong

The trademark curved mouth of the Irrawaddy dolphin led to the animal's nickname: the "smiling face of the Mekong." They travel in groups of no more than 10 and solitary dolphins are rarely seen. Unfortunately, populations of this rare species are shrinking. Dangerous fishing practices and habitat degradation from the development of dams, deforestation and mining are putting the future of Irrawaddy dolphins at great risk.

Hi there! I just wanted to tell you that you have created an awesome video which shows the beauty of the ocean at its purest. I was also wondering if I could have your permission to use 20-30 seconds of your movie for a school IT project about the conservation of oceans and marine life. I would be very grateful if you allow me to. Thank you in advance!!!

These dolphins aren't in the ocean, but in the freshwater mekong river.
