A rare pink dolphin appropriately nicknamed Pinkie has been discovered to be female since a charter boat captain spotted the rosey-colored mammal mating in Louisiana waters two weeks ago.
"I've taken a ton of pictures of her mating and it proved she's a female," Capt. Erik Rue told ABC News today. "I believe I'm first one who saw her and I know I'm the first one to take pictures of her.

Rue, a charter boat captain at Calcasieu Charter Service in Lake Charles, Louisiana, said he was shocked seeing Pinkie for the first time in June 2007, along with four others on board his charter.
Since then, he added, Pinkie's been a local celebrity, where people take trips on Rue's charter in hopes to get a glimpse of her.
"I think many are a bit surprise when they actually see it and it's actually bright pink like we've told them," Rue said. "They say 'Oh my gosh it's really pink.' They are surprised that it's just the way we described it to them.

Yes, first spotted in 2007, but they recently learned that she is a female.

They said she travels with 3 male dolphins in her pod. Scientist aren't sure why. I think she likes two in the pink and one in the stink.

The World Wildlife Fund said they are not able to identify Pinkie’s species type, but there is a freshwater species of dolphin known as the Amazon River dolphin that is naturally pink in color.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Women's Cancer people stole the dolphin, painted it pink then threw it back out in the ocean to raise awareness
