Rare Pink Dolphin Seen in Louisiana Lake

Tuesday, July 03, 2007

June 24: A rare pink bottlenose dolphin spotted in Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana.

It's sleek, fast, cute — and pink.

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.

Clearly GALE are perverting the course of nature, eh?

Exactly. They've conquered the dolphins and they are coming after you next! This is clearly the gay libral conspiracy at work. They are trying to hide an army of gay pink dolphins beneath the oceans, but thankfully a red blooded Erik Rue shot this to expose the evil gay agenda.

First the dolphins show signs of almost leg-like apendages and now this. Just as the article says, they have bred them to be sleek and fast, but added "cute" to disarm our soldiers. We must not waver, men. We must meet this threat with everything we've got! Break out the depth charges!

Seriously, this is kind of cool. If that isn't proof of mutation in genes, I don't know what is.

It really does look like it's made of plastic.
