Pink dolphins spotted off the coast of Oman. Why they are this color is a mystery VIDEO

Off the coast of Muscat, the capital of Oman, dolphins were spotted that appeared pink against their darker relatives.

The video went viral on social media, but experts have not yet named the cause of the unusual coloration, writes India Today.

The reason may not be in skin pigment, but in blood vessels that show through it. When blood flow to the body's surface increases to dissipate excess heat, the pink color becomes more noticeable.

However, whether this explains the appearance of the dolphin in Oman is unknown. According to the International Whaling Commission, Indian Ocean humpback dolphins, which inhabit this region, typically remain gray throughout their lives.

    У берегов Сомали не так далеко от Омана с 90-х годов итальянцы сбрасывали ядерные отходы АЭС. В 2004 вскрылось когда бочки с ядерными отходами после цунами начали на берег выбрасывать. Там с этим большая проблема. Может от этого и дельфины покрасились

    Гэта можа быць адзін з відаў рачных дэльфінаў, якія могуць мець такі колер.
