Yes, there are several species of river dolphins that are often pink. Most notably, the Amazon pink river dolphin, which many people have posted photos of. There is also a small population of river dolphins in China that can appear pink.
There have also been a few albino dolphins born that appear pink as well.
You may encounter two main types:
The first lives in the Amazon River near the sea, in tidal estuary conditions. These dolphins are grey and pink. The population is endangered and has not been extensively studied. They are born grey, and many develop an intense pink coloration as they age.
The pink color on their backs and heads is vivid and fades to grey on the belly. They eat a varied diet, and their greatest enemy is humans.
In China, the Pearl River Delta behind Hong Kong is home to a small population of pink dolphins. These are protected Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins and are the only saltwater dolphins known to be pink. Approximately 150 individuals remain.
Other dolphins of this type found elsewhere in the Pacific and in Australia are never pink; they are grey.
In short, this is a saltwater pink dolphin, whereas the Amazon dolphin is a freshwater pink dolphin.
