There is such a thing as a pink dolphin. But photos claiming to show one in North Carolina are altered or AI-generated.
Albino bottlenose dolphins that look pink have been spotted in the U.S. before. But viral photos that claim to show a pink dolphin in North Carolina aren’t real.Photos claiming to show a pink dolphin off the coast of North Carolina went viral on social media this week, racking up tens of thousands of likes, comments and shares. “On the morning of June 19th, a beautiful and rare pink dolphin was discovered stranded on NC Hatteras beach, having been washed out of its natural habitat.
“We have not received any reports or verified photos of pink dolphins in North Carolina waters,” a spokesperson for the state’s Division of Marine Fisheries said. VERIFY conducted reverse image searches on all of the viral pink dolphin photos and found that they had not been shared by any reputable news outlets. If a rare pink dolphin had been spotted in North Carolina, there would be news stories about the sighting. , the dolphin in the photos has skin that lacks texture and looks too smooth. We also zoomed in on the first two photos in the post and found that the word “cola” appears to be written near the dolphin’s blowhole. .
