I am studying the franciscana because it is the only river dolphin that lives in the ocean. The franciscana has a very long beak shaped like a birds beak. Its teeth look like a Christmas tree. They are pointy at the top and then they get thin. The flippers of the franciscana are smooth and curved. The dorsal fin is round and looks like a slightly rounded mountain. The flukes look like a W! The Franciscana is 3 to 4 feet long. The Franciscana has a very white and brown body that looks like coffee. Their small eyes blend in its body. The Franciscana has something inside of its forehead called a melon and makes its head round. I enjoyed writing about the franciscana because of its cool features.
