🐋Indus river dolphin
Der Indusdelfin (Platanista minor) ist eine sehr seltene Zahnwalart, die im Indus und seinen Nebenflüssen endemisch ist. Die verbliebenen etwas mehr als 1000 Tiere leben in drei durch Staudämme voneinander getrennten Populationen. Das heutige Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich über 700 km und umfasst damit nur noch etwa 20 % des ursprünglichen Verbreitungsgebietes. 1970 wurde die Art in Pakistan unter Schutz gestellt.
