We saw pinky in the ship channel Sat. too. Just for a second though. I didn't see it but then I didn't have as much beer in me as the rest on the boat either.

— Last fall News Outdoors Editor Chester Moore captured this photograph of "Pinky", an extremely rare bottle-nosed dolphin on Lake Calcasieu (Big Lake). Due to recent sightings of "Pinky" by local anglers fishing Big Lake, there have been requests for this photo.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
Pinky is an albino bottlenose dolphin. Pinky was first spotted in 2007 by a boat caftain, Erik Rue. The dolphin has become a tourist attraction, and conservationists have asked visitors to leave the dolphin alone.


"CAMERON PARISH, LA (KPLC) - It appears there has been another sighting of that rare pink dolphin in Cameron Parish.
Several pictures were sent in Sunday by Robert Odom. No word on where the pictures were taken.
Nicknamed "Pinky" by locals, the animal is actually albino, which gives it a pinkish color.
The dolphin was first sighted in June 2007 in Cameron swimming in the Calcasieu Ship Channel.
Since then there's been a lot of sightings, but only a half dozen or so have been caught on camera.
