It was not clear what type of dolphin was spotted, but Albino dolphins have a genetic mutation that causes their skin to appear pinkish and white

What started out as an ordinary day out on the water for Thurman Gustin ended with an experience of a lifetime.

Gustin, from Houston, told FOX 35 News he was fishing in the Old River area of Cameron Parish in Louisiana on July 12 when he spotted a pink dolphin swimming just below the surface.

"I stopped and started recording on my phone," he said. "I have never seen anything like it and just wanted to save the memories."

He said the sighting happened around 9 a.m.

Harbinger of earthquakes: Rare giant oarfish spotted near Taiwan's coast, sparks concerns of seismic activity

mmmmmmm
The mesmerizing oarfish, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest fish with a bony skeleton, has made headlines as a group of divers encountered this unique creature near the east coast of Taiwan.

Known in Japanese mythology as a harbinger of earthquakes, the appearance of this rare fish with bite marks on its body has sparked concerns of potential seismic activity in Taiwan.

The captivating video, which swiftly went viral, was initially shared on the Instagram page "Wealth." It showcases a group of divers encircling the radiant silver fish in the picturesque Ruifang region of Taipei County.

In the footage, one of the divers reaches out to touch the fish, only to witness it swiftly dart away. The oarfish measured approximately 6.5 feet in length, making it smaller than the record-breaking maximum of 36 feet, yet still an impressive specimen.

Entire pod of 55 whales dies after mass stranding on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland

Pilot whales are social and therefore more likely to stick together when one gets into difficulty
Pilot whales are social and therefore more likely to stick together when one gets into difficulty.
An entire pod of 55 pilot whales has died after a mass stranding on a Western Isles beach.

Only 15 were alive after they washed onto Traigh Mhor beach at North Tolsta on the Isle of Lewis at about 07:00 on Sunday morning.

Marine charity British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) attempted to refloat one of the more active whales but it was then restranded.

The decision was taken to euthanise the remaining whales on welfare grounds.

Western Isles Council - Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - has asked people to avoid the area as a clean-up operation began.

An otter in Santa Cruz, California is hassling surfers — and stealing their boards

An aggressive sea otter in California is hassling locals by riding boards she stole from surfers in the lineup.

Steamer Lane is a legendary point break nestled along the rocky shores of Santa Cruz, home to swaths of experienced surfers, as well as a 5-year-old female sea otter with a growing reputation for repeatedly confronting surfers and kayakers.

Videos across social media show the otter hoisting itself out of the ocean and onto boards while surfers sit back in awe. At times she's chewed on the boards or forced surfers to surrender their boards altogether.

Onlookers in the videos can be heard laughing in jest at surfers' misfortune, but officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service say the otter poses a public safety risk.

Bill Gates destroying the environment with mosquitoes?

I rank Bill Gates up there with Klaus Schwab and George Soros as one of the greatest threats, combined with others, that will fulfill our computer's forecast projecting the decline & fall of Western Civilization post-2032 and the sharp decline in world population. That has been his family's goal since creating Planned Parenthood to promote abortions in minority areas to reduce the population of particular races. That was the clever way to turn eugenics into a woman's right.

Now, Gates is dangerously altering the environment and there is no understanding of the profound damage he is causing this time all while he is pretending to care about the planet and humanity. In 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved releasing more than 2 billion genetically altered male mosquitoes in Florida and California following a pilot program in the Florida Keys dating back to 2020. Of course, the so-called fact-checkers only spread their own disinformation and appear to be so hateful and biased that they support anything that undermines whatever is said by their opposition regardless of the truth.

Cases of malaria have emerged in the US for the first time in 20 years. They focus on the statement when this project was released. Oxitec's work in the US has involved releasing genetically modified, male Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes in the Florida Keys with the purpose of combating insect-borne diseases such as Dengue fever and the Zika virus. The intent is to have the modified mosquitoes mate with female mosquitoes and pass on a genetic change in a protein that would render any female offspring unable to survive — thus reducing the population of the insects that transmit disease.

First of all, they just assume that the Oxitec press release was telling the truth. They paint the picture that malaria was not among this disease they claimed they were targeting. There was no investigation to see if that was true or not. Or, that Gates would destroy our environment just as Australia did by importing one species to eliminate another and upset their entire ecosystem. Australia learned its lesson and you cannot import any animal whatsoever without the approval of the government.
