Mar 02, 2009 - Lake Calcasieu, Louisiana, USA - Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the albino dolphin after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in Southwestern USA. Rue saw the baby dolphin swimming with a pod, including one dolphin which appeared to be it's mother. He noticed the pink dolphin also has reddish colored eyes. Rue, who has spotted the baby at least 50 times, said 'It's the same color throughout the whole body, it's absolutely stunningly pink.' A senoir biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society warned that people should be careful to respect and observe the rare dolphin from a distance.

China-science-animals, by Peter Harmsen Biologist Yin Zhi holds the offspring of a genetically engineered pig, born with green patches when held up against ultraviolet light in Harbin on January 11, 2008 in northeast China's Harbin province. The second-in-command of a team carrying out cutting-edge research at the Northeast Agricultural University felt like a proud new father this winter when a set of genetically engineered green piglets saw the light of day, heralding a new chapter in Chinese science. Fame first came a year ago when the pig mother was born, virtually covered in a fluorescent green, even her tongue had the vaguely psychedelic hue, as the direct result of genetic engineering, but it is her offspring, the just born batch of piglets, who have sparked more interest from scientists because there's is a trait passed on from one generation to the next.
