THIS is a flipping stunning picture of the worlds only PINK Bottlenose dolphin.

The dolphin, which is an albino, is the odd one out within its pod and after being spotted last year has been wowing visitors at a lake in Louisiana, US. The mesmerising mammal was photographed making a splash by local charter boatman Captain Erik Rue, 42. Cpt Rue has been studying the dolphin since it first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico. He said: “I just happened to see a little pod of dolphins, and I noticed one that was a little lighter. “It was absolutely stunningly pink.”

Fish face looks like a human

Fishy ... carp with human face

Fishy ... carp with human face

SOMETHING looks fishy with this carp which appears to have a human-like face.

The extraordinary fish seems to have big black eyes on the FRONT of its head. And they even appear to be above a nose and mouth just like a human. Dots on the front of the strange sea creature’s head had locals thinking they were seeing things. But on closer inspection the eyes actually turned out to be the fish’s nostrils. Its real eyes are on the side of its head just like other fish.

The fish was discovered alongside an identical one in South Korea in the pond of a 66-year-old woman.The owner said: "My fish have been getting more and more human for the past couple of years”. She said the fish were the descendants of a carp and a leather carp.

Scientists say the weird species are very rare. However these two fish are not expected to increase in numbers – as both of them are girls
