A remote part of the Indian Ocean is a hotspot for whales and dolphins, prompting researchers to call for a new protected area.

Despite the declaration of the Gangetic dolphin as India's national aquatic animal 13 years ago, its population continues to decline due to various anthropogenic threats.

Dolphins, porpoises and whales are regularly stranded on shorelines around the world. The underlying causes of these episodes are not always clear. Sometimes they respond to the disorientation of the animals

We don’t really associate dolphins with rivers but there is the Ganges river dolphin that is quite unique and one of the rarest dolphins on this earth.

The population of endangered Gangetic river dolphins in Bhagalpur Bihar has increased in a year, according to the latest survey conducted this year by a team from the Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT).
