In a devastating environmental crisis, the lifeless bodies of 120 Amazon river dolphins have been discovered floating in a tributary of the Amazon River in Brazil over the past week. The Mamiraua Institute, a research group at Brazil’s Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, reported two additional dolphin casualties on Monday in the Tefe Lake region.
Experts point to severe drought and scorching temperatures as likely culprits, with the Tefe Lake region experiencing temperatures exceeding 39°C (102°F) in the past week. The distressing discovery extends beyond dolphins, as thousands of fish have also succumbed to the harsh conditions, according to local media.
