Tucuxi
The tucuxi (''Sotalia fluviatilis''), alternatively known in Peru ''bufeo gris'' or ''bufeo negro'', is a species of freshwater dolphin found in the rivers of the Amazon basin. The word ''tucuxi'' is derived from the Tupi language word ''tuchuchi-ana'', and has now been adopted as the species' common name. Despite being found in geographic locations similar to those of 'true' river dolphins such as the Amazon river dolphin, boto, the tucuxi is not closely related to them genetically. Instead, it is classed in the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae). Physically, the species resembles the bottlenose dolphins, but differs sufficiently to be placed in a separate genus, ''Sotalia''. The Guiana dolphin (''Sotalia guianensis''), a related dolphin present in coastal and estuarine environments and formerly grouped together with the tucuxi, have recently been recognized as a distinct species. Description The tucuxi is frequently described (see references below) as looking similar to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
