I think that what the original poster was referring to, is that there is
actually a variety of dolphin that are fish - and they live in fresh
water... can often be found in rivers and lakes.  I'm not sure what part of
the world they occur in, though.  I watched one of those nature shows on TV
on them once.  I seem to remember being creeped out by their appearance...
I really like dolphins and porpoises, but these things looked quite
different - I seem to remember them looking similar to what pictures of
pre-historic fish look like (and those have always given me the creeps as
well).
