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.

Tsk, humans.. I don't like dolphins that much but I think they can be adorable at times. I've seen baby pink dolphins when I went to Singapore two months ago. They're not brightly colored like this- a bit gray since they're babies- but they get pinker as they grow old.
