No, this isn’t a handily Photoshopped photo of a bath toy. Or even a Photoshop of a standard dolphin. Rather, it’s a bona fide pink bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) swimming about the waters of Calcasieu Lake in western Louisiana. Albinism is responsible for Pinky’s rouge hue and slightly less adorable red eyes. While a different species of pink dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) plies the Amazon River, Pinky is in a class by itself.
