Pink dolphin
This pink dolphin has been hanging around an estuary in Louisiana. From The Telegraph:
"Pink dolphin appears in US lake" (Thanks, Gabe "TuneUp" Adiv!)
Regina Asmutis-Silvia, senior biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, said: "I have never seen a dolphin coloured in this way in all my career.
"It is a truly beautiful dolphin but people should be careful, as with any dolphins, to respect it - observe from a distance, limit their time watching, don't chase or harass it
"While this animal looks pink, it is an albino which you can notice in the pink eyes.

didn't Brock Samson ride (or something) a pink dolphin in a shaman hallucination in an episode of Venture Bros?
If only it were a narwhal.
unfortunately, it has a lot working against it. The lack of pigment will make it get sunburned (the pink color already shows that). This is one animal that might actually benefit from capture and living in a controlled environment with limited sunlight exposure.

It's a long way from Hong Kong, must have got really lost...
I always respect the pink dolphin, if you know what I'm saying.
In the Amazon, there is a pink river dolphin, which was shown on old Jacques Costeau documentaries on the Amazon river, and also is the source of legend from people that live by the river. The legend says that the pink dolphin, on a day every month, becomes a handsome man, and goes out to mate with a human female. And when a pregnant woman shows up and the father is unknown, the ladies say that the father is the pink dolphin!!!
I sense a viral marketing campaign, the result of Christo and Lisa Frank teaming up...
Are the pink elephants I keep seeing also albino?

Yep, Freshwater Dolphins are pink; I haven't heard of Saltwater Dolphins being pink.
#11 and 12 beat me to it. I seem to remember when my aunt went on a vacation to Peru, she sent back pictures of pink dolphins in the Amazon river. Although, this little dolphin definitely seems to be a slightly more saturated shade of pink.
I'm from SE Texas and I seem to remember this happening in Louisiana before. Not long ago. Maybe 2-3 years back. Maybe not.
HOAX.
It's obviously a robot.
can't you see?
Looks waxed.
Also seen drinking at the lake was a white horse with a single horn protruding from his forehead.
It's not pink. It's sunburned. Imagine being an albino dolphin with no sunscreen, and you can't hide in the deep for very long (what with the air breathing an all).

And they put the "fug" in "fugly". If your dolphin friend tried to set you up with one, it would be refered to as "having a nice personality".
Those Breast Cancer Awareness people manage to get their message EVERYWHERE!
Well, there goes the "that shade does not exist in nature!" agument.
Now all I want to see is the invisible pink unicorn.
Dude... how can the Unicorn be invisible and pink at the same time? And how could you "see" it if its invisible?
ZOMGWTF! You're not making any sense! Are you on drugs?
Oh... you licked the dolphin, didn't you? Damn. Well, be cool, man, don't freak out, you'll be down in a couple weeks.
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them." /Steve Eley
it's like a real life sex toy
