More than 10 Chinese white dolphins were recently spotted in coastal waters off south China's Guangdong Province. The Chinese white dolphin is typically dark gray when it is young, and the body color becomes lighter with age. The adult is pure white, but it often becomes pink when it swims due to blood congestion under the epidermis.
