In this day and age I have to ask, is this real? I have never heard of Pink dolphins before... *Edit* a quick google check though makes it seem legit.

If it is I want one! grin2.gif Seriously that is truly amazing, nature is awe inspiring.

Now that you mention it I have a known a few albino men over the years but never a female.

What a beautiful creature! Wouldn't it be awesome to get to swim with that? I need to add that to my list of things to do before I die.

I've met an albino male... kinda creeped me out.... not to be rude lol

As much as I hate the idea of animals in captivity, I feel bad that this little guy/girl is out in the wild... albino animals have a tough time trying to survive out there. On the subject of albino humans, I've only met one before and that person was a she.

On a nature programme i watched an Albino deer is more likely to be rejected by its own kind then to be easily spotted and eaten by predetors

Isn't/Wasn't there a type of river dolphin in China where most of them were pink? I say "wasn't" because most river dolphins in China are nearing extinction or already extinct due to environmental ravaging.

Very neat looking.

Suppose it depends on the environment, though that albino deer would have a tough time hiding in the forest from hunters than other deer.

with all the reasons why it's pink.

Yeah, there used to be, but it got declared extinct I believe. And the entire species was pink, though now destroyed thanks to Communism.

i wonder why this albino dolphin turned out pink and not white but what ever the reason it's the neatist looking dolphin ive ever seen
SilverCougar
because the numerous blood vessles that are just below the skin tint it pink.. it's normaly hidden by the greyish tint of a normal dolphin
