Tigrisök

Tigrisök, also known as the Tigris River dolphin or Indus River dolphin, is a species of freshwater dolphin found in the Indus River system, which flows through Pakistan and India. It is one of the rarest and most endangered cetaceans in the world, with a population estimated to be fewer than 100 individuals. The tigrisök is characterized by its small size, with adults typically measuring between 1.5 to 2 meters in length and weighing around 50 to 70 kilograms. Its most distinctive feature is the dark, almost black, coloration of its body, which helps it blend into the murky waters of the Indus River.

The tigrisök is a social animal, often found in small groups. It feeds primarily on fish, but its diet may also include crustaceans and other aquatic organisms. Due to habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing, the tigrisök's population has declined significantly over the past few decades. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this endangered species, including the establishment of protected areas and the implementation of fishing regulations to reduce bycatch. The tigrisök plays a crucial role in the ecosystem of the Indus River, and its conservation is essential for maintaining the health and biodiversity of the region.
