You’re right, that does seem to be a VERY pink dolphin indeed. Don’t other species get pinker as they get older? If it was a baby a couple years ago, I wonder why it’s not more white. Hard to tell.

Dogu4- Ah yes, but “Calcasieu Saltwater Estuary” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?

I think the color’s been “pumped-up”.
Saltwater estuary might be a better term for this body of water.

Well after some quick searches this thing is all over the net it’s just funny I haven’t talked to anyone who has heard of it around here hehe.

I live about 30 minutes from Calcasieu Lake (Cal-cu-Shoe) and though I’ve never seen bottle nosed dolphins in it, it’s not very far from the Gulf so I guess it is possible. I have seen many porpoises which to me is what the normal colored one looks like. What is strange to me is why none of the local papers or news broadcasts around the Lake Area had anything about this. This is the first time I have seen this, it does look neat though.

Cute critter—funny that it’s actually an albino.

Hope he has many happy years of life. Cool. Great story.

Awesome! It’s fun to see that the dolphin is actually pink rather than a slight tinge. A fun find!

Wow, I had never heard of Lake Calcasieu before. I’m curious as to the ecology and types of species in this lake. Very interesting.

Pinky was spotted a couple of years ago when he/she was still a baby. His mother was a standard gray dolphin but his father (as far as I know) is unknown.
