The '''Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris)''' is a species of oceanic dolphin found in scattered subpopulations near sea coasts and in estuaries and rivers in parts of the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. It is a euryhaline species, meaning it can live in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Three discrete riverine populations occur in the Mekong, Mahakam, and Ayeyarwady rivers. | The '''Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris)''' is a species of oceanic dolphin found in scattered subpopulations near sea coasts and in estuaries and rivers in parts of the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia.
