White Dolphin Painter

The Chinese White Dolphin (Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin, Sousa chinensis chinensis; traditional Chinese: 中華白海豚; pinyin: Zhōnghuá bái hǎitún ) is a Humpback dolphin species, one of eighty cetacean species. An adult is white or grey. Uniquely, the population along the Chinese coast has pink skin. Pink skin is not pigment, but blood vessels for thermoregulation. The adult's body length is 200 - 350 centimetres and the infant's body about 1 metre. An adult weighs 150 to 230 kg. A Chinese White Dolphin lives 40 years. (Age can be determined by teeth.)
