Another crazy thing about the pink dolphin that you might not know is that the Male dolphins are strikingly pinker than their female counterparts; the coloration thought to be a product of scar tissue resulting from rough games or fighting over conquests. However, their final color can be influenced by their behavior, capillary placement, diet, and exposure to sunlight; with brighter pinks attracting more attention from the females. These river dolphins can sport markings that range from mostly gray with some pink spots, to full flamingo pink.
🐬 Amazon pink river dolphins are a unique subspecies of the Amazon river dolphin, known for their bright pink coloration that fades to gray as they age.
