Adorable Pink Dolphin In Louisiana Is Like A Real-Life Pokemon

Meet what just might be the world’s cutest dolphin

“Pinky,” as she’s being called, is a rare pink dolphin — and a Pokemon lookalike

First seen in 2007 as a pup swimming alongside her mother in the Calcasieu River, she was recently spotted again by Capt. Erik Rue of Calcasieu Charter Service

“We still see her swimming almost every day in the summertime

Pinky has already become a celebrity on social media: 

Rue told WGNO he’s seen Pinky hundreds of times over the years, and that she is indeed completely pink. 

“One hundred percent pink — you know, like, the color of most dolphins’ bellies, but her whole body is pink,” he told the station. 

The pink dolphin bears a resemblance to Gorebyss, one of the creatures from Pokemon:

There is some dispute over Pinky’s unique coloring. Some believe she is an Amazon River dolphin

“I know they have the Amazon river dolphins but those are kinda ugly and splotchy

Others believe Pinky is an albino

Naomi Rose of the Animal Welfare Institute

“So the pink color is just blood at the skin’s surface

Whatever the reason, the only thing cuter than a pink dolphin is a baby pink dolphin — and that might in the works: Rue told WGNO he saw Pinky mating.
