This extremely rare and beautiful "pink dolphin" was spotted and photographed by Capt. Erik Rue of Calcasieu Charter Service 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. If it does turn up again, it will be a welcome surprise to our guests.

I have no reason to believe that the photos are not authentic. Genetic mutations that cause albino do so through interference in production of skin, hair and eye pigmentation. We normally think of albinos as being white, but I imagine that the pink coloration is due to semi-transparency of the skin giving a hint of the red coloration of the underlying muslce and blood vessels. A key observation is that albinos have pink eyes due to lack of iris pigmentation.
If you are one in a million, who do you swim with?
Besides dolphins are not racial biots.
well usually you dnt see this in any animal species....hey i dnt know mcuh about dolphins or animals....but i guess i felt they usually stick by their crowd...pink dolphins arn't that rare....as far as i can remember
