Surprise! We are popping into your feeds today with an extra special episode to celebrate World River Dolphin Day (today!)



We were joined by friend of the pod, Emily Cunningham who is now the River Dolphin Conservation Lead at WWF and is here to talk all things river dolphins, especially the threats that they face that are unique to fresh water cetaceans.



We also feature some other amazing guests with incredible knowledge AND River Dolphin Whale Tales!
