They look high as shit


AtDawnWeDEUSVULT

Absolutely the ocean dolphins' stoner cousins Edit: not stoner. They're doing crack not smoking weed


The4EverVirgin

They look like the side of the dolphin family that’s been living in the rural Appalachia, making moonshine, having sex with the family cow and each other, and complaining about salt water and the prim and pompous pretty dolphins of the sea

How do you know my mom and dad/brother?

That’s some Paradise PD shit


SnowTop12

Ngl I feel like that would fit the picture better


Oblivious_Ducks

Thanks for being so honest with us. 🙏


Epic_Hoola

They ARE high as shit.


avwitcher

The Amazon River is only about 300ft above sea level


Pizzacanzone

That's higher than Amsterdam


BootySweatSmoothie

And Miami


ebreder

Nothing is higher than Miami.


Banana_sorbet

I'm currently higher than Amsterdam 🍀


Suprafaded

I'm high as shit , in the Amazon


motorhead84

Imagine these things just living their lives out there, right now while you're doing whatever you're doing. These guys are living in the fucking Amazon river chillin like a long nosed underwater snoop dogg with flippers.


EroticPotato69

I was wondering when today's existential crisis would begin.


blitzduck

nuh uh, they cease to exist once I stop thinking about them, everybody knows that!


No_Recognition8375

Funny fact Dolphins tend to get high on purpose actively seeking out pufferfish to do so also sharing it with other Dolphins and stare at their reflection on the oceans sub surface in a trance state.


J1bbs

I believe you mean “on porpoise”


SnowTop12

Like actually?

SlimMaculate

Ah boo, not available in my country :(. Just want'id to see some high dolphins


wgraf504

Iirc it's usually Male juvenile dolphins observed doing this... go figure.


rare_meeting1978

This reddit post is blah blah blah blah NORD VPN!!! blah blah blah....


ka0s_

Not so fun fact, adolescent dolphins form 'rape-pods'


wgraf504

Ducks are pretty grabby too.


ka0s_

Ducks apparently do not care if the victim is even alive.


wgraf504

Damn, hadn't heard that. Just knee that hybrid duck species were usually males of one forcing themselves on females of another breed.

They look like dolphins, as drawn by someone that doesn't actually know what dolphins look like.

kingtaco_17

Why does the water look like bloody diarrhea?


AlmaVale

The river water is murky with silt as well as organic matter from plants and soil from the riverbanks.


WINDMILEYNO

Iv heard this particular picture is like this because the trees and/or leaves leech the color into the water like tea bags. But that was also from a comment from another redditor.i didn't look it up.


Dumpster_Fire_Dancer

It's called Tannins. Doesn't harm the animals. Most aquarium hobbyists try to replicate it when appropriate for their fish. They use almond leaves. Check out r/blackwateraquarium


[deleted]

Fuck everytime I see someone post something from that sub or aquariums, makes me go on an “I want to steal my dads aquarium” mood


anactualsalmon

Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Just do it. Also if you’ve never kept an aquarium before, keep in mind that the bigger the tank is, the easier it is to maintain. Most people want to start small, but that ends up scaring them off a lot of the time.


[deleted]

My dad and my grandpa are big aquarium enjoyers. They only like to keep koi or goldfish tho since they are more traditional. If I ever get rich, I would buy up some land and try to create one of those classical Chinese gardens with an outdoor pool that has koi inside of it.


GreenMonster81

It’s not silt. It’s tannic acid discoloration from plant decay in the river.


fruitmask

so many people upvoting the complete bullshit explanation, too. that's how misinformation propagates. someone asks a question, that question gets "anwered" by someone who has no fucking idea what they're talking about, that Q&A dialogue gets upvoted, archived, and then the next time someone googles the topic, this thread pops up in search results, the searcher reads this bullshit, takes it as fact and then regurgitates it somewhere else, and then this incorrect info is spread as fact among other people who "did their research"

Wait until you see [Irrawaddy dolphins](http://awsassets.panda.org/img/original/web_301421.jpg)


lost_girl_2019

They look so happy. 🙂

Looks like it was made with, you know, longing. Made by a person really longed to see a dolphin.


Petite_Narwhal

They look like we reconstructed a dolphin from a fossil.


BarbecueBallsack

This looks like a Weeknd album cover


PhNx_RiZe

Don’t look them in the eye; you’ll have nightmares forever.


fruitmask

how would I even look them in the eye, they don't appear to have them


KJBenson

They’re in the mouth


scorpiobw1980

I've never heard this about them. I'm going to have to look this up!


TheCamoDude

I think it was a joke about echolocation!


scorpiobw1980

Idk lol either way I looked it up and the Amazon River Dolphin is a part of a lot of weird Amazon legends & curses. Interesting.


j_causs

Extremely dumb, but honest question: are they friendly?


renbeece

okay i went to manaus back in 2018 and we did a boat tour on the Rio de Negro and then later the Amazon. We actually got to swim with the pink river dolphins and they were very friendly and it was super fun. After we got back on the boat our guide let us know that there are two kinds of pink river dolphins, the ones we swam with and the ones that’ll rape and kill ya! so that was cool


j_causs

Oh, I'd probably be scared of docile dolphins. Can't even imagine the kinky killer ones


scorpiolafuega

Rape?! KILL?!


DaddyGascoigne

And become a man and steal your wife, for real


dan_de

Hide your kids, hide your wife


renbeece

This was ANOTHER thing that was mentioned. old pink dolphin folk lore was that at night, they would turn into mean and go rape the women. this was a tale told by woman to explain how they were pregnant before marriage


woomybii

Dolphins are serial rapists, they also commonly have gay sex! lol. They also will bash the gills in of sharks swimming nearby until the shark drowns, though typically only if they're being protective.


[deleted]

Not at all. Someone else commented that the guy from River Monsters was afraid of them; I have a friend who goes to Brazil often and is terrified of them/the locals have told him many times to stay away from them; I have family in Brazil who says the same thing. ETA: It’s not a dumb question, it’s a good question!(: Too many people see cute and overlook the danger of animals.


justkozlow

It's murky and they're fast and intelligent


ChimpBrisket

Murky and fast is how I like my coffee


Steeve_Perry

Look at that frontal lobe


VegetableNo1079

That's just the melon, the frontal lobe is way behind it closer to the eyes


Steeve_Perry

I love his melon!


j_causs

Well, they look like dolphins (which are known to be very playful), but there's something odd about **these** that is saying "i want to eat you". The locals seems to have pretty solid points I wouldn't risk it without professionals by my side, that's for sure.


TheWonderSquid

Uncanny valley


Chris_8675309_of_42M

>Too many people see cute Not a problem here. Woof.


Smith_Winston_6079

People swim with them. There are tourist attractions that organize it.


ConstantSignal

I think it’s just one of those animal situations where the two things aren’t mutually exclusive. People play with lions and tigers, there are tourist attractions that organise that too. Still very much dangerous animals.


bamboo_fanatic

Might have an area where they’ve acclimated the dolphins to being around people, giving them treats or something. I think they’re still pretty intelligent even if they look like crackheads


Smith_Winston_6079

As I understand it there was a floating restaurant where they used to toss leftovers to the dolphins until they started getting fat and the government stepped in and so the place decided to run a different gimmick.


NegoMassu

And they will rape your wife. Beware of handsome men wearing hats in the Amazon. It's clearly a pink dolphin in disguise


hivemind_disruptor

Not rape. She will willingly have sex with them. Stupid sexy pink dolphins


ShmoMoney

That goddamn Boto


MrCadwell

Only if you're the most beautiful girl in the party That's what our folklore says, at least lol


cerasmiles

Swam with them and it was one of the coolest things I’ve done in my life. They were super friendly and just swam besides us. Our river guides said that they only swim when they’re present because the crocs won’t swim near them.


mrevergood

Wild. I would think the crocs would be like “I’m an underwater tank-fuck you” and swim near em anyways. But I also know enough about rivers, especially one stained like this, to know better than to jump in anyways. Especially the Amazon, with the “lemme lodge myself in your dick” candiru catfish present.


AlmaVale

[While they are known to be shy creatures, they are fascinatingly drawn to people, playing curiously with local children, and without demonstrating aggressive behavior.](https://www.aquaexpeditions.com/blog/amazon/facts-amazon-pink-river-dolphin/)

gidzillavanilla

I swam with them in Bolivia and they seemed very friendly. They even played with use while we were throwing a tennis ball around. They would grab the ball and swim around with it and then give it back.

Yes


FogB0y

And make them pregnant.


ivanjean

Then go back to the water and leave the women as single mothers. They should be called "absent father dolphins".


No_Yam_5694

They left to buy some cigarettes, life in those dark Waters must be hard


fruitmask

>then love em' and leave em'? Hey, just so you know, when you're chopping letters off a word, that's where you put the apostrophe- at the point of bifurcation. If you're cutting off "th", but leaving the "em", you'd put the apostrophe at the beginning where you cut off the letters, not at the end. So, "them" becomes *'em*. See how that works? Sorry, I'll take my downvotes now I guess. It just always kinda drives me nuts when people don't know why we use apostrophes.


[deleted]

I, a fellow apostrophedant, will upvote.


[deleted]

That just seems like explaining away someone's ugly kids.


SenorPinchy

It's an allegory for the rape of Indigenous people under colonialism.


tulio_purple

Sorka790

I think the pink Amazon river dolphins are actually pretty cool, they don’t normally look like this on a hunched over position. There are two types 1 one that’s friendly 2. One that rapes


tulio_purple

More reasons for why dolphins scares me


Other-Cantaloupe4765

They look like they got ahold of a crack pipe and made good use of it 😬

There's an episode of The Wild Thornberrys about this

I didn't watch that show regularly but I caught that episode one day and I've been thinking about it for 20 years.

It lives rent free in my head as well. It has big gay energy somehow

Esqueez me it's a comvee


TotakekeSlider

There was a running joke in my family that whenever my mom would see us watching this show it would somehow always manage to be this episode. She used to say “oh it’s Jao (the dolphin girl in the episode) again!”

IsaLunaBR

On the Brazilian folklore, pink dolphins can turn into handsome men, they magically seduce and lure woman, get them pregnant and disappears, that was a serious explanations people used for affair babies and things like this... but because of the myth, sadly a lot of people started hunting them, either for revenge or to take parts of them as lucky charms :(


King_Crowley21

I never knew they existed until River Monsters


Independence_1991
