Rare And Beautiful Pink Dolphin
Pictures provided by: Capt. Erik Rue of Calcasieu Charter Service
This extremely rare and beautiful "pink dolphin" was spotted and
photographed by Capt. Erik Rue on June 24th, 2007 during a charter fishing trip on Calcasieu Lake south of Lake
Charles, LA.
It appears to be an uncanny freak of nature, an albino dolphin, with
reddish eyes and glossy pink skin. It is small in comparison to the
others it is traveling with and appears to be a youngster traveling with
mama. After spotting the beautiful mammal cruising with a pod of four
other dolphins, Rue and his guests Randy and Peyton Smith and Greg and
Sam Elias of Monroe, LA idled nearby while watching and photographing
the unusual sight for more than an hour.
Our expectations are high that we will see this amazing mammal again as
it was in an area frequented by the gentle mammals and one confirmed
report has it being spotted at least a month earlier in a nearby
location.
Just thought you guys would like this. Countdown

Useless Trivia: Albino animals actually have 0 melanin pigmentation in any portion of their bodies. This means the eyes as well. When you see the Pink/red eyes on an albino creature what you are actually seeing is the light reflecting off the red of the blood vessels and tissue at the back of the eye

And that dolphin is gorgeous
