Seems There Are Pink Dolphins
Well, actually it is an albino dolphin that was spotted and photographed by charter boat captain Erik Rue, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.
The dolphin, is entirely pink from tip to tail and has reddish eyes indicating its albinism. The skin appears smooth, glossy pink and without flaws.
Regina Asmutis-Silvia, senior biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, said: “I have never seen a dolphin coloured in this way in all my career.”
A close relation of dolphins, the Amazon River Botos, called pink dolphins, live in South America in the Amazon. [Via]
