Ever See A Pink Dolphin!? Fisherman Notices A Once-In-A-Lifetime Discovery In Louisiana.
By Mike-Ross
Matching perfectly with the release of the popular "Barbie" movie, an incredible discovery has been made in Louisiana, where two rare animals, both similar to the iconic doll's color, have been making waves. These beautiful creatures happen to be two pink dolphins, a sight that has left locals astonished. Thurman Gustin, an experienced fisherman with over two decades of experience on that very river, can attest to the rarity of this remarkable occurrence.
Luckily, Thurman managed to capture one of the pink dolphins on camera, adding to the excitement of the finding. Despite having encountered other intriguing animals during his fishing expeditions, such as a bobcat swimming across a Texas bayou, the sight of these pink dolphins is truly unparalleled and a unique spectacle to behold.
“As we were going I noticed something just under the water that I knew wasn’t normal,” Thurman said. “I [stopped] the boat and up popped this beautiful pink dolphin. I had to record it.”
These bright dolphins weren’t the only ones swimming in the area, but they were the only pink ones, with one noticeably larger than the other. Although there’s a species called the pink river dolphin, those live in freshwater basins in South America. That means these two were likely bottlenose dolphins that are albino.
As rare as these sightings are, turns out, one of the dolphins Thurman spotted very well may be a local celebrity in southern Louisiana known as Pinkie! First sighted in 2007 in the same area Thurman was fishing, this pink wonder has their own Facebook page where over 20,000 followers excitedly stay tuned for the latest sightings that folks share.
Although the pink wonder that Thurman saw could have been the famous Pinkie, since they’ve been seen with a calf in the past, it’s also possible they he spotted their child instead.
In any case, Thurman is happy to have had the opportunity to experience such a special sighting in person. Likewise, we’re thrilled that folks like him are able to capture these moments so the rest of us can experience them as well!
