Two pink dolphins, a mother and her seven-month-old calf, were rescued after becoming trapped in a river in Bolivia.
The marine animals, known as “bufeos”, had been swept into a stream in the tourist town of Villa Tunari, in Cochabamba, due to flooding.
They were unable to return to their original river due to the low water level.
Authorities captured the pair in nets on Friday, May 24, before transporting them to the Isiboro River in the nearby Amazon region of Beni.
The neighbors came out to say goodbye to the mother and the calf, which was still nursing, with Bolivian flags.
