Rare Pink Dolphin Pictures

Category: albino • cetacean
Posted on: September 22, 2007 6:40 PM, by ableiman

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.

An albino dolphin, with reddish eyes and glossy pink skin, the critter was smaller than its companions suggesting that it was immature. These pictures are apparently of the albino traveling with its mother.

Apparently these photos were circulating back in June but they just made their way to us, so we decided to share.

Reminds me of a plush toy my sister called 'Lucky' back in the early 50's. Cute.

Wow, that doesn't even look real. It's amazing.

And it's reminded me of my favorite show, The Venture Bros!

Hmm, can albino dolphins get sunburned? Either way, they're awesome looking!

Posted by: Heather | September 26, 2007 2:54 PM

i think sunburn would be a real concern, since they have to be surface animals. even normal whales (dolphins?) will suffer sunburn if they can't submerge much.
