Monster Month: Indus Worm
Monster Month: Indus Worm
Indus Worm
Here we are at the final day of monsters. I remember stumbling onto this guy years ago, but promptly forgot.

The impoverished fisherfolk who help protect the endangered dolphin compete with them for the same meager hauls. WWF has incentivized farmers and fisherfolk to call in dolphin sightings, especially of stranded dolphins.
Ganges River Dolphin and Indus River Dolphin are the only extant members of a superfamily of cetaceans called the Plantanista (cetaceans are whales, porpoises and dolphins). They appear to have diverged from other cetaceans between 24 to 34 million years ago.
