Howdy. I'm looking for good general natural history references on Amazon river dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) and wanted to tap the collective Zoochat wisdom.

I've been looking through Google scholar and there are several papers on distribution and abundance, conservation status, and anatomy and physiology. Not much is popping up about general natural history subjects (life history, social behavior, feeding behavior, etc.).

Does anyone have a recommendation for good natural history account(s) in a book, magazine, monograph, etc. of the species? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
If anybody is interested I found a boto conservation project in Brazil called Projecto Boto. Their website appears to be about 10 years old, but has lots of interesting natural history information about botos and their research on them. There is a reference section with the publications that have resulted from their research.

Hello David. Have you got a copy of 'Journey of the Pink Dolphins'? There are fairly cheap copies at [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Pink-Dolphins-Amazon-Quest/dp/1603580603"]Journey of the Pink Dolphins: An Amazon Quest: Sy Montgomery: 9781603580601: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]. I don't know if the book has a bibliography. It may also be worthwhile visiting the library of a large natural history museum.
