Pink dolphin

How cool, an albino dolphin! 😀

Is that real? It looks kind of photoshopped to me. o.o but wow, if it is real that’s so cool 😀

Yep, it’s real! See here.

I think it’s really cool. There are other pink dolphins, like the Amazon River Dolphin & the pink (usu. adolescent) Chinese White Dolphin (or here), but to see an albino bottle-nose? Sweet. That man was lucky.

OMG thats so amazing!!! 🙂

I checked with Snopes, he’s real.

They are extremely rare and most don’t make it to maturity. The albino gene affects their vision and resistance to sun exposure along with not being a very camoflaging color in the sea. So combining all those negatives, it isn’t surprising they don’t survive long. The one in the photos is a young dolphin according to the marine biologists who have followed up on this sighting.

Kinda neat to see, too bad they don’t usually survive, but it makes sense why not. He would probably do well in captivity, but as a wild dolphin, his days are probably numbered.

Ah well, darn Darwin and his survival of the fittest anyhow!

When I grow up im gonna get one and put it in my back yard. My back yard will contain a beach, by the way.
