A PINK DOLPHIN..AWESOME! WHAT A TREAT!

A PINK DOLPHIN..AWESOME! WHAT A TREAT!

Think pink ... you're not seeing the world through 

rose-colored glasses: This albino dolphin is pink.
Unique ... the bottlenose - first spotted in 

Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary 

in Louisiana, by boat captain Erik Rue, 42, in 2007 - 

has surfaced again.

Attraction ... tourists are flocking to the lake 

in hopes of seeing the rare mammal.

Rare sight ... "Pinky" is believed to be the only pink 

dolphin in the world, and has "reddish" eyes. 

It is usually spotted with its dark gray  mother.

One of a kind ... there are only 14 other known 

albino dolphins in the world, all of them white.

Healthy glow ... "The dolphin appears to be healthy 

and normal other than its coloration, which is quite 

beautiful and stunningly pink," said Mr Rue, 

who estimates he has spotted Pinky more than 40 times.
