Until recently, it was thought that the number of Irrawaddy dolphins, a rare Asian species, was extremely low. The largest known groups numbered in the low hundreds. But now researchers for the Wildlife Conservation Society have discovered a community of nearly 6,000 of them. Irrawaddy dolphins are related to orcas, or "killer whales," one of whale species that make their home in and around Puget Sound. This community of dolphins was discovered living in freshwater regions of Bangladesh’s Sundarbans mangrove forest and in the Bay of Bengal.
