I would have liked to see Michel swimming instead of the pinky.

lol
beer goggles sound like a good out right now.

The albino dolphin looks like plastic, it is amazing that they've survived this long.

The Telegraph is the highest selling broadsheet with a reputation for quality as being the 'conservative paper of record' in the UK, its not a tabloid so I don't see them posting a fake story. They're not the Sun. lol

There are dolphins that are pink because they're albinos....but there is also a species of pink dolphins.

  [FONT face=Times]'The Pink Dolphin looks almost like the gray dolphin, but they have differences.  Instead of having a dorsal fin like the gray dolphin, it has a hump on its back. The Pink Dolphin's tail is bigger and it has 2 flippers that look like big leaves. The Pink Dolphin's neck is kind of long and his head has a little hump in the forehead. His beak is long and has tiny hairs on top. This animal has tiny eyes. The Pink Dolphin can turn its head 180 degrees, all the way around since it has an unfused vertebrae. It weighs approximately 90 kilograms. The Pink Dolphin got its amazing pink color from the kind of water it lives in, and the kind of food it eats.'[/FONT]

Agreed, but it looks and sounds pretty un-natural.  It looks like something that could be photoshopped pretty easily ...

PC, albino catfish are cheaper. lol




When my cousins refilled their lake they bough a bunch of baby catfish to repopulate it, there was one or two albino in the thousand or released. We don't think they survived unfortunately.

Awww....look at his little smile.

  I had an albino catfish in my aquarium.  

  I still want a pink dolphin.

[Sportsdude]

and I want a house deep in a forest overlooking the ocean on a cliff that has a wooden staircase that leads down to a beach. lol

Me too.....with a pink dolphin frolicking in the surf.
