To beaten with his tail to water surface then the fisherman throw his net quickly. After he got fish he gives some of small fishes to the dolphins for eating. That is unique and fascinating to see their tactful work. After that we go back to the Mandalay. There are (100) Dolphins left in the world some in India, some in Thailand other are big amount in Myanmar the only place where you can see in Ayeyarwaddy river they are gray colour and 2.5m long and good relationship with local fisherman.
