The Ganges River dolphin has a carnivorous diet which includes a large variety of fish and invertebrate animals; perhaps it is also capable of consuming birds and turtles. These are some of their usual prey:
– Common carp.
– Gobio.
– Prawn.
– Freshwater sharks.
– Mahseer fish (Family Cyprinidae).
– Shrimp.
Although it has visible teeth in the jaws, it does not use them to chew but to hold their prey firmly. Its eyes are not useful to find food because in the muddy waters of its habitat they are not required, that is, it is an animal functionally blind, so it uses echolocation to detect prey.
This dolphin usually swims with a fin touching the riverbed to feel the sediments since animals hide there. Its snout is very useful for this. Once it finds a suitable prey, it holds the victim with the jaws and begins to swallow it whole starting from the head so that the scales (if the prey has them) do not hurt its throat.
