The clip of the pink dolphin is currently receiving a lot of attention on TikTok.
On August 21, 2021, social media users in Vietnam were buzzing with excitement over a video capturing a rare pink dolphin frolicking in the waters of Do Son, Hai Phong. Many people noted that this species is extremely rare in nature, and only a lucky few get the chance to see one.
Recently, the TikTok community has been sharing another video of the pink dolphin. This time, not just one, but a whole pod was seen surfacing and diving in the sea, attracting the attention of a group of fishermen.
The fishermen cheer with joy as they see the pink dolphins appearing in the sea.
In the video, you can see dolphins with their distinctive pink-white skin continuously surfacing. To attract their attention, the fishermen on the boat kept whistling and shouting. Each time they spotted a dolphin, the men exclaimed, “Oh my God!”
Pink dolphins spotted in the waters of Vietnam.
In the comments section, netizens expressed their excitement about encountering this rare species:
– “I usually only see gray dolphins; this is the first time I’ve seen a pink one.”
– “Is this a sweet strawberry ice cream version of a dolphin?”
– “Last time in Do Son, there was only one; now there’s a whole pod!”
– “The sea is calm and deserted, that’s why they swam in.”
In reality, dolphins typically have gray-white, dark gray, or completely white bodies due to albinism. Pink is considered a rare color in dolphins, usually appearing only in two species: the Amazon river dolphin and the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin. Both are rare and endangered species according to the Red List.
