More than a hundred dolphins have been found dead in the Brazilian Amazon amid an historic drought and record-high water temperatures that in places have exceeded 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
The dead dolphins were all found in Lake Tefé over the past seven days, according to the Mamirauá Institute, a research facility funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science.
The institute said such a high number of deaths was unusual and suggested record-high lake temperatures and an historic drought in the Amazon may have been the cause.

This news is from well known source like CNN, ensuring its credibility.
It called my attention because many dolphins are dying and this is alarming because they are crucial to both ecosystems and humans as they play a vital role in preventing us from consuming sick or diseased fish, therefore helping to safeguard our health. In addition, the dolphins dying are the Amazon River dolphins. Out of the four known river dolphin species worldwide, we now have just three remaining, with one becoming extinct in 2007. Unfortunately, these Amazon River dolphins are also at a high risk of extinction.
