Abstract: On October 2011, a newborn franciscana dolphin with an anomalously coloration was sighted in Babitonga Bay, southern Brazil. The calf was totally white.

“…Using multiple lines of evidence such as geochemistry and palinological data from three different sediment cores, these authors were able to establish the vegetation dynamic in the last millennium in this region, providing some explanations on how the current sharp boundaries between the forest and savanna ecosystems have been maintained. Dolphins comprise a group of Cetacean mammals fully adapted to an aquatic lifestyle and are observed quite frequently along the Brazilian coast (e.g., Cremer et al 2013). Economic activity regarding these animals has been growing, with some being used even in the tourism industry (e.g., Alves et al 2013).…”

The larger individuals show the typical brownish to dark gray color of this species (e.g., Jefferson et al 2008).…”
