Rare Pink Dolphin Spotted in Louisiana


The very first time a pink baby dolphin was spotted in a Louisiana river was in 2007. The same dolphin came back eight years later as an adult, and according to the boat captain that saw her, she might be pregnant.



While you can spot pink river dolphins in the Amazon and Orinoco rivers across Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela, the one spotted in Louisiana is actually an albino bottlenose dolphin, which makes her a very rare animal.
