"Shockingly Pink" Dolphin Will Warm Our Hearts, Sass Up Our Oceans

A one-of-a-kind hot pink bottlenose dolphin has appeared off the Louisiana shore, stumping marine biologists and underwater decorators alike.

"It was absolutely, stunningly pink," said [Erik] Rue, owner of Calcasieu Charter Service. "I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body. It looks like it just came out of a paint booth."

[...]

The only pink dolphins known worldwide are the freshwater variety in the Amazon. The boto, as they are called, are the largest river dolphins on the planet. And while they are very pink, they also have gray splotches on their backs and fins.

You know what, we'll toss this one to you. Back in the 90's, a white buffalo -- sacred to the Lakota Sioux -- was born in South Dakota and wound up on The X-Files. What show would a pink dolphin be best on today?

Toasted rye. With just a little mayo. Yum.
