Oh look at that! Look! I don't believe it! No, no, no, look!
They were so close! This is actually one of the hardest animals in the world to film in a
completely natural setting. I've spent months on the Amazon and you see pink river dolphins popping
up every now and again and it's no more than a fin and then it's gone and already we've been
here for two minutes and I've had better sightings of pink river dolphins than in all the months I
spent on the Amazon put together. This is going to be very, very special indeed.
Oh wow! That was quick! Look at that! I think it's probably worth just slipping straight in.
Just at the edge it's shallow enough that I can stand up.
Hello! The water's like sort of warm cola here. I should say straight off that these are
totally wild dolphins. Whoa!
Totally wild! But the reason they're here is actually exactly the same reason why they're
deadly. These animals have huge brains, they're really intelligent and if there's a free meal
on offer why waste time and energy on going out and hunting? But as soon as I've finished feeding
them they're going to be off catching fish for themselves. They're not biting me despite the
fact that there's loads of them down here. There really are loads and they're quarrelling over the
fish but I haven't yet had any of those teeth. Oh crikey! You tell him. A little fight there over
the fish. I haven't yet been nibbled. Touch wood. Whoa!
