The Ganges River Dolphin is the oldest river dolphin species that survives today. The extraordinary resilience of this species to have survived in one of the most intensely abused river basins in the world certainly needs to be recognised. But as per official figures, there are only about 3,700 of them left in India's river systems. On being informed of the river dolphin’s presence by the locals, the photographer spent four hours in the water before he made this image with his point-and-shoot camera.
