are you joking with me? or mocking me??

I am an Old Aspie. Everything I say is to be taken literally. By the way have you ever seen the movie -Wag the Dog-?

With computer editing of photos and pixels nothing pictured can be taken as the truth for certain. Don't believe everything you see.

I hope it's real, because it's really pretty and i'm not a big fan of pink, but it's awesome.

Does it hurt her to believe in a pink dolphin? I mean, why not?

I've seen a lot of albino animals in my time, it's not as uncommon of an occurance as you might think.

I've seen pink dolphins... they're quite common in Florida... also grey ones, blue ones, brown ones, and even mottled multi-colored ones...

How about a rainbow dolphin? Now that one would be given a real hard time by the other boys.
I hope this pink one is a girl. Otherwise, he might have a difficult time in the highly social culture of dolphins. :lol:

Dolphins aren't real...

They are mythical creatures like unicorns and giraffes.

And Scotts.

Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.

Are you always this gullible? How about the Loch Ness monster? I have a bridge I would like to sell to you for under a thousand dollars. Are you interested?

The pink in an alibno dolphin comes from the blood vessels that are visible beneath the skin. Because of the lack of pigmentation in the skin, it becomes translucent, permitting the dolphin to take on a pinkish color because of said blood.

This is a fact that's very easy to check on. Other albino dolphins have existed before; this isn't something new and completely abnormal.

The photo is color enhanced. That's why it looks so fake. Check the Fox News link I posted earlier to see the true color.

I think there's also a specie of dolphins that exists in Asia that's pink-ish. But not as flash pink as this one.
