A Pink Dolphin!!!!

Filed under: Etc.

pink-dolphin.jpg

In Lake Calcasieu, Louisiana, a wonder worthy of Hello Kitty has been discovered!

A pink dolphin!

We shit you not!

The dolphin's "stunningly pink" color is the result of albinism, which is indicated by its red eyes as well as its pink skin. Don't worry, the dolphin is totally healthy. He's just pink!

Charter boat captain Erik Rue spotted and photographed the pink dolphin, saying, "I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth."

We wonder if the dolphin is a Perez fan?

Regina Asmutis-Silvia, senior biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society reminds folks to "be careful, as with any dolphins, to respect it - observe from a distance, limit their time watching, don't chase or harass it."

That way everyone can enjoy the fabulous dolphin for as long as he lives!

    There are pink river dolphins in the Amazon but those are a different species. This is a bottlenose dolphin which is normally gray in color. About 20 different whale and dolphin species have been documented with some level of albinism. It is unknown as to the specific genetic type of albinism this dolphin has, but it's likely to be able to lead a normal life, assuming it is not harassed by too much attention. Thank you for making this article available to your readers. Cheers, Regina, WDCS, www.whaleadoption.org

    And I see he has a little dolphin friend. No bigotry in the dolphin world. They don't judge someone just because they're different. But then they are a very intelligent species.

    ITS TRUE ????????????????????????????



  31. 131

    that is so FUCKIN AWESOME!



  32. 132

    Old news. This pink dolphin has been swimming around the ferry landing in Cameron, Louisiana since 2005 after Hurricane Rita napalmed the town off the map. Lived there and saw it many times.

Can you please produce the balance sheet, income statement and and cost of goods sold statement for GM? I didn't think so. Just because someone has never heard of a pink dolphin doesn't mean they aren't very educated. No one can know everything.

    Hey I live in Lake Charles & I didn't even know this!!!!!! Dolphin have gotten more inland before & it usually doesn't end well………All our lake & waterways are connected to the Gulf of Mexico….so that's how that can happen.

    Re: smartgirl77 – I don't know what studied in school, but I learned about mitosis and the government and 1984, then political science, then law. That was a dumb comment. Just because you were taught that there were pink dolphins (which is totally random, unless you study zoology, animal behaviour, or possibly go to veterinary school), doesn't mean you're not educated.

    Re: blubbershambles – Hahahahah best comment.

  60. 160

    Anyways what's more sad is what happened in australia with thousands of dolphins… :(



  61. 161

    Been trawling through the british papers again, have you, Perez?

    Why the fuss over a pink dolphin? It's not like it's the only one. Just Google Hong Kong and Pink Dolphins and you'll see all kinds of different pictures.

  87. 187

    Buto or Amazon River Dolphins are always pink



  88. 188

    That is awesome. I only hope it won't get captured by people who wants to make some money. A pink dolphin in nature sounds so prety. And funny.



  89. 189

    Seriously, this is not all that rare. It is a river dolphin. Some are pink, don't y'all watch Go, Diego Go. :-)



  90. 190

    Re: smartgirl77 – If you do your research, there are freshwater dolphins and there are also pink dophins, such as found in the Amazon in South America. Perez, you really need to start doing some research. Just because its pink, doesnt mean its albino. It would actually have to have samples taken from it to find out why it is pink. And this same dolphin was reported over a year ago. This is old news.

    —Most dolphins do not have good eyesight, they rely in echo-location (sonar). Why dont you do your research and go back to school?



  91. 191

    coooooooollllllllllll



  92. 192

    Awesome.
    It looks plastic



  93. 193

    omfg hell yeah!
    a pink fucking dolphin!!!
    RAW



  94. 194

    the pink ones are probably the most vicious of them all.



  95. 195

    Wowie zowie



  96. 196

    I wanna see this



  97. 197

    I liked when Chelsea Handler said she found her own pink dolphin when she was 12 and hasnt stopped playing with it since =)



  98. 198

    iv got one in my paddling pool out back



  99. 199

    I love dolphins, but I don't like pink!



  100. 200

    Amazing. Who cares if it's been around awhile? Now i know about it lol
    Hopefully paris hilton doesn't try to adopt it and keep it with her 50 dogs she doesnt take care of.
    Gotta love mother nature
