The Indus River Dolphin is a river dolphin. It can be found in the rivers of India and Pakistan. This dolphin has many common names. From France it's name is , Dauphin de l'Indus. From Great Britain, Indus River Dolphin, Indus Susu, and Bulhan. Then in Germany, the Indusdelphin. And from Japan, the Indus Kawa Iruka

The Indus River Dolphin, has much of the same characteristics and personality traits as the Ganges River Dolphin. The only real difference between these two is the skull. This difference was the main reason for the Indus River dolphin recieving a different name then the Ganges River Dolphin.
