Sighting of a rare white dolphin reported in Florida

a rare Dolphin white was sighted by a person sailing near the coast of the city of Clearwater, in the state of Florida.

The video, shared by Matt Devitt on Instagram, shows the cetacean swimming with another bottlenose dolphin.

“What a show!“said the Internet user in wonder on the social network.

Very little is known about albino dolphins due to their extreme rarity, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), cited by the television station WFLA.

The government agency explained that most forms of albinism are the result of biological inheritance of genetically recessive genes passed from both parents to an individual, "although some rare forms are inherited from a single parent."

According to NOAA, “this genetic trait is characterized by white or light skin and hair, the appearance of pink or red eyes, and often impaired vision.”

Both dolphins may have been male, explained the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, cited by WFLA.

Because male dolphins of the same age “form a lifelong pair bond and spend most of their time together, helping each other find suitable food and mates,” noted the North American state agency.

Recently, a family of dolphins attracted attention at Deering Estate, one of the most emblematic museums and archaeological sites in Miami, providing visitors with an unforgettable experience.

In a scene that seemed straight out of a story, where the beauty of nature is intertwined with the grandeur of history, a group of dolphins decided to surprise the visitors of Deering Estate in Miami, offering an unusual show last February.
