A Pink Dolphin!!!!
Filed under: Etc.
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!

thats amazingggggggggg
This thing was photographed back in 2007. So unless they have new pics of the Pink Dolphin why is the story coming up now all of the sudden. P.S. I live there and I've never even seen dolphins in the lake let alone a pink one. Hell I didn't even know dolphins travelled up the channel into Lake Calcasieu.
Wow. It looks so fake. Hard to believe.
