Pink Dolphin found in Do Son beach area in Vietnam
Dolphins are mostly found in greyish-blue colour out in the ocean but, recently a video showed a rare pink dolphin. The video had gone viral on social media after it was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter. The video shows a pink dolphin swimming in the ocean along with other grey coloured dolphins. The video is reportedly of the Do Son beach area in Hai Phong City of Vietnam. It should be mentioned here that the pink dolphin is known as the boto, bufeo or pink river dolphin. In 2008, this species was ranked by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as being data deficient, due to the uncertainty regarding its population trends and the impact of threats.
If you haven’t seen a pink dolphin💕
