Hi, My name is Laura, and I love dolphins, especially the Pink Dolphins found in Hong Kong. Did you know the Pink Dolphin is also the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin. I learned that in school. They are actually born grey, and don't turn pink until after they have grown-up some. Did I mention that I love the Pink Dolphins!! The Pink Dolphins home is threatened by humans, and I just want everybody to know we need to do our best to make sure they always have a clean and safe home.
