Pink Dolphin
It's sleek, fast, cute — and pink.
A charter-boat captain from Lake Charles, La., photographed a rare pink dolphin a couple of weeks ago in Calcasieu Lake, an estuary just north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern Louisiana.
According to Calcasieu Charter Service's Web site, Capt. Erik Rue was on the lake June 24 with fishing customers when five dolphins came into view — four normal-looking gray ones, and a bright pink one that appeared to be an adolescent.
"It appears to be an uncanny freak of nature, an albino dolphin, with reddish eyes and glossy pink skin," the Web site reads. "It is small in comparison to the others it is traveling with and appears to be a youngster traveling with mama."
There is a species of pink dolphin that lives in the Amazon River in South America, but this one appears to be a more common bottlenose dolphin.

Wow! How interesting! But will it have a hard time surviving? The color would make it stand out, making it difficult to hunt. And don't most albino's have a hard time in the sun, so will it get sunburned?
But it sure is cute and pretty! My 4 yr. old niece wants it for her swimming pool!

how pretty.. i just hope this dolphin's color does not make it susceptible to hunters or dolphin studying groups trying to capture this precious creature and put it in a lab.

How pretty!!! At first I thought it was photoshopped.
LMAO My daughter is sitting here asking if it's a girl or a boy. I told her I had no idea, she said she hopes it's a girl b/c if it's a boy she feels bad for it having to grow up pink. LOL
