Why Are Dolphins Turning Pink?

Dolphins are mammals but why are they changing color?

You know they are badass when they eat piranhas

The dolphins....are the pink river dolphins....they are naturally pink

They enhanced the pink colour on that dolphin to some absurd level.

I saw a pink dolphin off the coast of Florida and shared a very special moment fishing where I threw it a fish and it began to swim beside the boat and look deeply into my eyes after and we were going very high speeds it was communicating with me. It was blue and speckled pink all over its body while the others were normal colored. I’ll never forget how I felt in that moment with that dolphin such a special moment I needed that day it had a young baby also with it and I watched it share the fish with the young dolphin.

They aren’t turning pink, fresh water dolphins have always been pink 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Thorrnn]

They aren’t “turning” pink, they are a species of dolphin that is naturally pink

[PrescilaFernandez]

"they are the largest at 9 feet."
Orcas: Ameteurs.
Pink river dolphins: excuse me?
Orcas: *A m e t e u r s .*

There is also pink dolphins in China, Thailand. But only 2000 are left.

Note to self: If I'm going to swim where there may be piranha's, watch for the dolphins.

- pink river dolphins are pink by default.
- the largest dolphin is the orca

I started off pink and turn grey as I age. Respect to dolphins.

Now all we need are pink elephants and my life is complete

They are not turning pink. They are pink, they’ve always been pink, and they will continue to be pink. That is the color of their skin. Enjoy them and protect them for what they are, interesting.

"Biggest dolphins alive"
Orcas: Am I a joke to you?

[ImOldGreggg]

I wish we could fully understand just how intelligent these dolphins really are.

[jarredlionti]

I live in south Florida and I’ve seen them around here several times throughout my life, as a child in the 90’s and as recently as last year.

[lucascorreadl]

It's a mythical, yet really common creature in Brazil

Haven’t seen pink dolphins since my rave days xD ;) those things were so good and pure
