But she soon found out that to know the botos, as the dolphins are locally called, you must also know the people who live among them.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAnd so in \u003cem\u003eJourney of the Pink Dolphins\u003c\/em\u003e, Montgomery—part naturalist, part poet, part Indiana Jones—winds her way through watery tributaries and riverside villages, searching for botos and hearing the tales of locals who believe these ethereal dolphins are shape-shifters—creatures that emerge from the water as splendidly dressed men or women only to enchant their human onlookers, capture their souls, and then carry them away to the Encante, an underwater world. Montgomery takes readers on four separate journeys, exploring the river-dwelling dolphins’ natural history, chronicling their conservation pressures, unraveling their prehistoric roots, and visiting with shamans who delve into the Encante.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Green Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133863346416,"sku":"9781603581752","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781603581752_p0.jpg?v=1769902256","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781603581752","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
