The cute pink dolphin that appeared in the sea has become a hot topic among netizens on X and Facebook.
In recent days, images of a pink dolphin have been circulating on social media. One user on X claimed that this rare underwater mammal was spotted off the coast of North Carolina (USA). Others said that this image was recently taken off the coast of Chumphon, Surat or Koh Samui, Thailand.
Images of pink dolphins are spreading on many social networking sites around the world.
The truth about the cute pink dolphin then made netizens curious. According to Times Now News, this image could be the product of artificial intelligence (AI) or other photo editing technology. Some netizens said that the dolphin that caused a stir had an unusual “plastic” appearance and the same pose in each photo.
Many people think that the dolphin’s pose is the same in every photo.
However, the pink dolphin is still a real animal, although extremely rare. Also known as the Amazon River dolphin and boto, the mammal is native to South America and lives in the freshwater of the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela. Meanwhile, the waters of North Carolina – where the pink dolphin is rumored to be found – are thousands of miles away.
The waters of Koh Samui and the small islands surrounding this famous tourist area have witnessed the appearance of pink dolphins. This is even one of the unique features promoted in Koh Samui tours.
In addition, no authorities in Thailand or the United States have confirmed the appearance of the rare dolphins. The North Carolina Department of Wildlife Management has never confirmed the presence of pink dolphins in the area.
Although the truth about the image of a pink dolphin causing a stir on social media cannot be verified as real or fake, the existence of this rare animal is real and has been discovered many times.
A pink dolphin was once spotted off the coast of Koh Samui, Thailand.
