    The document discusses the Ayeyarwady dolphin, a freshwater dolphin found in the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar. It has a rounded head, dark grey color, grows up to 2.5 meters long, and weighs up to 130 kg. Unlike ocean dolphins, it lacks a beak and has small eyes. The dolphin feeds on fish and helps fishermen by herding fish into their nets, in exchange receiving a reward. However, the species is endangered due to habitat loss and accidental catching in nets. The Myanmar government has established sanctuaries along the river to protect the dolphins and prohibit activities that endanger them.
