Two days ago a report came about very rare pink dolphin caught by camera. The location is the Lake Calcasieu north of Gulf of Mexico, and pictured by Captain Erick Rue ( a dolphin researcher ).
The pink colour probably an Albinism phenomena which is a genetic trait. Read the full report here.
As we know, the dolphins can live either in a salt or fresh water. Many pink dolphin spotted in the Amazon River South America is a fresh water species. Local name it " bufeo colorado "This species is different from the one at the Lake Calcasieu. The report of Amazonian Pink dolphins can be read here.
