boto dolphins suck

I was watching a Discovery Channel HD show called Planet Earth this afternoon (by the way, one of *the* most amazing nature programs ever made -- I'm not a huge nature freak by any means, but this show is fantastic, especially in HD). Today's show centered around the creatures who live in various rivers and lakes around the world. I had heard about the Amazon's freshwater dolphins, also known as boto dolphins, back in elementary school, but I completely forgot what they looked like. Until now:




Um... gross? What kind of ugly, warped creature is that? Give me a good ol' bottlenose dolphin any day:



Uh huh. That's how we do it. How about a solo shot?



Bottlenose. Best dolphin *ever*.
