These animals are usually solitary or found in mother-offspring pairs. Loose aggregations form for feeding and mating. They are usually slow swimmers, but capable of short bursts of speeds up to 23 km/hr. These river dolphins are reported to be curious and playful, and even in the wild they may be tame with humans.
