Some Fun Pink Dolphin Fact

Here are a few facts about the Hong Kong Pink Dolphins that I thought you might like to know:
  • The Pink Dolphin is sometimes called the Bubble Gum Dolphin due to its pink skin.
  • Baby Pink Dolphins aren't actually pink, but are born dark grey. Their skin color lightens to pink or white as they grow up.
  • The estimated population of Pink Dolphins in Hong Kong is approximately 100.
  • Hong Kong Pink Dolphins live in groups of about three or four.
  • The baby dolphins eat milk that they get from their mothers, while the adult dolphins eat yummy things like fish.
  • The Pink Dolphins can start having baby dolphins when they are only 10 years old.
  • Pink Dolphins live to be about 40 years old.
  • A baby dolphin will stay with its mother until they are about 3 years old.
  • Sadly the death rate of baby Pink Dolphins is very high, mainly due to the poisons the mommy dolphins consume from eating fish from the polluted waters.
When I learn more facts I will add them to my list.
