A historic drought and recent 102-degree temperatures in the Amazon could be to blame for unusually high numbers of animal deaths in the region.
More than 100 dolphins were found dead in the Brazilian Amazon within the past week as water temperatures reached record highs.
Though the institute told CNN it's too early to determine the exact cause, researchers and activists aren't taking any chances with other dolphins while waiting to find out. Two weeks ago, the drought prompted Amazonas state to declare a national emergency and launch a $20 million response plan, due to low water levels impacting residents' waterway transportation, fishing ability and economy.
