FOR ALL MY CONSPIRACY BUFFS:
"from the writings of the 19th Century writer and explorer George Catlin, who for eight year (1832-39) complied the most knowledge ever assembled of the ancient tribes of North America ... we learn of the ancient myth of the Chitimacha Indians (Louisiana) as related to the mysterious Mandan Tribe about this pink dolphin that warns that “when the little sea savior [Chitimacha name for dolphins] returns with the coat of our children [pink in colour] for only 20 more times will the small eye [Moon] rise from its nest in the great tree [sky] when it will be overturned/turned over again to be born again in great chaos and pain and to our most sacred hiding places all must flee.”
The world's only pink Bottlenose dolphin which was discovered in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA, has become such an attraction that conservationists have warned tourists to leave it alone.
Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.
Capt Rue originally saw the dolphin, which also has reddish eyes, swimming with a pod of four other dolphins, with one appearing to be its mother which never left its side.
He said: "I just happened to see a little pod of dolphins, and I noticed one that was a little lighter.
"It was absolutely stunningly pink.
"I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth.
"The dolphin appears to be healthy and normal other than its coloration, which is quite beautiful and stunningly pink.
"The mammal is entirely pink from tip to tail and has reddish eyes indicating it's albinism. The skin appears smooth, glossy pink and without flaws.
