I couldn't load the rest of the article, froze the computer here. Is the pink from sunburn or what?

It is an albino, how incredible.

Albinos lack pigmentatioin to their body, so the pink is the tissue color. An interetsing fact is that many albinos in good captive care typically get and die from skin cancer (as they have ni pigment in their skin to protect their bodies from UV rays). There are records of an albino humpback whale off Australia too. That albino dolphin in FL and LA is somewhat frequent.
