Guiana dolphin

Sotalia guianensis (its Latin name) is a dolphin species in the Delphinidae family which resembles the Tucuxi dolphin, Sotalia fluviatilis. Until recently these two dolphins were thought to belong to the same species, with the former residing in a marine environment and the latter in freshwater. The Guiana dolphin lives on the Eastern coast of South and Central America.
