An extremely rare pink dolphin has given birth to a pink calf.

The animal, known locally as Pinky, has been spotted in the Calcasieu river in Louisana swimming with her pink baby.

The unusually-coloured mammal first came to fame around 12 years ago, when she was noticed by captain Erik Rue, who saw her regularly swimming in the area and mating with dolphins – the captain even described her as ‘very sexually active’.

A clip was shared to Pinky’s Facebook page, showing the two pink dolphins swimming in front of a massive boat in the Calcasieu Ship Channel.
