Pinky (dolphin)

Pinky is an albino bottlenose dolphin found in Calcasieu Lake, Louisiana. Pinky was first spotted in June 2007 by a boat captain, Erik Rue. In 2015, Rue was able to capture photo evidence of Pinky mating, proving that she is female. The dolphin has become a tourist attraction, and conservationists have asked visitors to leave the dolphin alone. Pinky's behavior is similar to the rest of the dolphins in her pod, although she tends to spend more time underwater. The animal's popular name is derived from where it frequently lives as well as its skin hue.
