Story
One of the most fascinating 'discoveries' made by the Jacques Costeau expedition to the Amazon was the existence of, and the legends surrounding one of the most amazing animals on earth, the Amazon River dolphin or Boto. Of course, to natives of Amazonia the 'mermaid-like' (as described by a French explorer to the region in the 18th century) legends involving one of the friendliest dolphin species in the world were already well-known.
