A picture of a rare pink dolphin has been making the rounds on social media.
Bridget Boudreaux, from Westlake, Louisiana, told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview that she never thought her pictures would get this much attention.
Boudreaux and her husband were out for a boat ride in Calcasieu Ship Channel on Saturday when she spotted the oddly coloured dolphin leap from the water.
鈥淚t was an awesome experience,鈥� she said, adding that 鈥渢he pictures don鈥檛 do it justice.鈥�
She explained that the colour of the albino dolphin is so vivid that it looks like it鈥檚 been painted with antacid medicine Pepto-Bismol.
鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing. It鈥檚 so majestic,鈥� she said.
Boudreaux and her husband watched two pink dolphins and some grey ones playing together.
She told CTVNews.ca that a cargo ship came about 10 minutes later and the dolphins went to surf in the waves created by the ship.
Boudreaux had her husband follow the ship and she snapped some pictures of the rare dolphin. She also managed to capture video of one as it swam in front of the boat.
