Dolphins are sometimes born a bit off-color.
And sometimes they’re born with no color at all!
There’s an all-white Common dolphin, named Caspar, who is consistently seen on a certain whale watching tour. But there are also dolphins whose albino coloring makes them pink!
An albino (lack of color, pink eyes) is pretty easy to spot.
However, some dolphins aren’t albino, but they certainly aren’t the right color. These could be:
- leucistic (lack of color, but dark eyes)
- hypomelanistic (washed out black colors)
- amelanistic (lack of black colors)

What kind of dolphin do you think these are? Leave a comment and let me know!
