The Smiling Dolphins 😃

What happens

On the Mekong River at Kratie, Cambodia, a round-headed grey dolphin with no beak pops up and seems to grin. Stilt houses line the bank, a water buffalo cools off exactly where the ball floats, a kingfisher dives, and at sunset the dolphins blow puffs of mist.

Fun facts

• Irrawaddy dolphins can spit water from their mouths.
• Irrawaddy dolphins have round heads and no beak.
