Remarkable behavior has been observed among male Amazon river dolphins (Inia geoffrensis), known for their unique mating rituals. These dolphins have been seen rolling upside down and ejecting a stream of urine into the air. This unusual act has drawn attention, as other male dolphins often swim towards the falling urine, potentially interpreting it as a form of social signaling, similar to the scent marking observed in terrestrial mammals.
This intriguing phenomenon highlights the complex social behaviors of Amazon river dolphins and provides insight into their communication methods. Researchers continue to study these fascinating creatures to better understand their interactions and environmental adaptations.
