Rare Pink Dolphin Spotted in the Gulf of Mexico

(Gulf of Mexico) -- A rare pink dolphin was spotted swimming in the Gulf of Mexico last week.

Sightings of albino dolphins are extremely rare, and they've only been spotted in the Gulf a handful of times.

"Pinky," an albino dolphin was first seen in 2007 but it's unclear if this latest sighting was indeed Pinky.

Albino dolphins have a genetic mutation that causes their skin to appear pinkish white.
