Bolivian River Dolphin
The Bolivian river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis boliviensis) is a subspecies of the Amazon river dolphin. Although older publications as well as some recent publications[1] consider the boliviensis population as distinct species from Inia geoffrensis, the great majority of the scientific community including the IUCN[2] consider boliviensis population to be a subspecies of Inia geoffrensis. Current classification[3] therefore considers a single species, Inia geoffrensis, in the genus Inia, with three recognized subspecies.
