The Minority Report

You have to see this shit to believe it!! It’s fucking pink!! It’s a pink bottle nosed dolphin! I bet his part of the continental shelf is beautifully furnished. I wonder what his take on this season’s line is going to be.

A rare pink Bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, has resurfaced two years after it had first been seen in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern Louisiana.

The young dolphin, which was first sighted as a calf in June 2007 and photographed a few weeks later, gets its brilliant pink color and bright red eyes from blood vessels that lie just below its layer of blubber. This pink color is masked by pigments in the skin of normally-colored gray animals.
