Rare Pink Dolphin Seen in Louisiana Lake
July 03, 2007 
- A charter-boat captain from Lake Charles, La., photographed a rare pink 
dolphin a couple of weeks ago in Calcasieu Lake, an estuary just north of the 
Gulf of Mexico in southwestern Louisiana. According to Calcasieu Charter 
Service's Web site, Capt. Erik Rue was on the lake June 24 with fishing 
customers when five dolphins came into view - four normal-looking gray ones, 
and a bright pink one that appeared to be an adolescent. "It appears to be an 
uncanny freak of nature, an albino dolphin, with reddish eyes and glossy pink 
skin," the Web site reads. "It is small in comparison to the others it is traveling 
with and appears to be a youngster traveling with mama." There is a species of 
pink dolphin that lives in the Amazon River in South America, but this one 
appears to be a more common bottlenose dolphin.
