Pinky (dolphin)

Pinky is an albino bottlenose dolphin found in Calcasieu Lake, Louisiana.[1]

Pinky was first spotted in 1998 by a boat captain, Erik Rue.[2] The dolphin has become a tourist attraction, and conservationists have asked visitors to leave the dolphin alone.[1]

The albino individual mustn't be confused with species such as Sousa chinensis or Inia geoffrensis.
