RARE pink dolphin spotted south of L.A.!!!

[Xirxes23]

Im on the mailer for SIO and just recieved this e-mail about an extremely rare pink dolphin that was spotted on a chartered fishing trip. I will paste the exact email here with pics! enjoy

"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. "

That's really neat! But I don't get it...it was spotted in a lake?

I don't know the specifics, but a lot of these dolphins can be riverine, and i know that the only other known "pink" dolphins are found freshwater and found in lakes and rivers (nile i think), but as to this specific one, you have all the info that i have.

I've seen those FW ones from the Amazon. Creepy looking things!

I wonder if it will have skin issues from constant sun exposure? :(

[Diver Dan]

It would probably be white if it was in alaska, like a beluga whale, you know? But it is getting a bad sunburn turning him pink!:D
