The pink dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) is the national animal of Orioni. They are solitary animals and live primarily in the southern river systems of the Wenizi and Caroni. Venture outside any city and you'll meet a much wider variety of animals. Pink dolphins are unique among dolphins for having molar-like teeth and can chew their prey. The diet of Orinese river dolphins comprises fish, shrimps, and crabs. They also eat piranhas and turtles. Pink dolphins are true carnivores (meat-eaters). Pink dolphins can move from rivers to ponds and lakes during the rainy season (when rivers flood). Some pink dolphins are actually very rare albinos. Albino dolphins can appear pink instead of white because of the blood vessels under their skin.
For really wild animals, there's only one place: the northeastern Amilaki Wildlife Reserve established by the EOS. It is the least populous region, with the longest coastline, largest area, lowest annual temperature, coldest winters, highest temperature difference between seasons, and most volcanic activity.
