Pinky the Pink Dolphin from Lake Calcasieu, Louisiana (photos)
March 3rd, 2009
Pinky the Pink Dolphin was discovered by Erik Rue, the 42 year old charter boat captain when he was sailing the Lake Calcasieu in Louisiana. Pinky is the world’s only pink Bottlenose dolphin. Pinky is an albino dolphin. His eyes are bright red and skin, well… bright pink. He’s otherwise perfectly healthy, the only oddity about him is that he’s all flashy pink.
Pinky the Pink Dolphin has been swimming in the waters of Louisiana’s Lake Calcasieu since 2007. He’s been a big attraction, to the point that conservationists want to limit the time allocated for observation.
Dolphins are awesome. Their sense of community is unsurpassed. Family of dolphins will never abandon a member who’s injured, rather they’ll stay with him and protect him until he’s capable of keeping up with them again. When pinky the Pink Dolphin was first spotted, there was a group of five dolphins around with Pinky’s mom always by his side. Dolphins are so amazing. Especially this pink albino dolphin.

Wow this is actually really cool. Also, I didn’t realize that bottlenose dolphins ventured that far inland to freshwater! I’m sure that’s pretty uncommon too.
