There are PINK dolphins Also!

These guys are known as the Amazon river dolphins, and guess what? They live NOT just in the Amazon, but also in the Orinoco and Araguaia/Tocantins river systems. They're notable and easily recognizable because their skin has a pinkish hue. However, there are other cool things about this animal:

    It's the largest cetacean to spend most of its life in freshwater.
    They have unfused neck vertebrae, which means they can turn their heads 180 degrees!

There are officially two recognized species of Amazon river dolphins. They're part of the folklore of the people who live around them. Local folklore speaks of 'encantados,' shapeshifters who look like dolphins by day, but spend their nights seducing people and having illegitimate children with humans.

Deforestation and other human made natural disasters are endangering the pink dolphin, so it's important for everyone to be aware that we're endangering the life of such an awesome creature.

There is a town in Nebraska with a population of 1 !

Czech immigrants looking to have their own version of the American Dream founded Monowi, Nebraska 1902. Today, what was once a robust town has dwindled down to just one person, 72-year-old Elsie Eiler.

Eiler is the last resident of Monowi. As such, she is also the mayor. And she takes her duties seriously. Ever year, she raises taxes from herself to keep Monowi’s four streetlights lit and a few other basic amenities running.

She also runs the town’s only business, the Monowi Tavern and lives in the last remaining habitable building. She grants herself a liquor license each year so she can keep the bar running and serves customers that come off the highway that runs through Monowi.
