Wild Pink Dolphins

On our last day in Hong Kong, I booked us on a tour with HK DolphinWatch - an organization to raise awareness about the plight of endangered pink dolphins in the South China Sea near where the Pearl River delta meets the ocean.


There are only about 150 of these dolphins left and we spotted a handful - and they're really pink! Note that it's really hard to get a good photo of a wild dolphin when it's 30 feet away and you can't tell where it's going to surface next! The babies start out grey (we saw one of those swimming with the mother) and then turn pink when they hit their "teenage" years.

I also couldn't resist taking a photo of one of our fellow traveller's choice of footwear for a 3 hour outing on a small boat ;)
