🐬🇧🇷 Biologist Vera da Silva and researchers at #Brazil’s Mamirauá Institute study the pink #boto, a #freshwater #dolphin that swims backward and upside down.

These 2.5-meter-long #mammals use #echolocation to hunt #fish among submerged tree roots. While biologically successful for millennia, they now face threats from #hunting and #pollution.

#Echolocation tells absolute distances whereas the #AI depth view only gives relative distances (depth order), but still with supplemental absolute depth cues from changes in apparent size when moving to and fro, as well as effects of visual parallax when moving sideways.
