Scientists in Australia have found an unbelievable dolphin species! Arcus pluvius, otherwise known as the Rainbow Dolphin, is a beautiful purple hue with multi-colored spots. The dolphin is quite rare, but National Geographic Kids has an exclusive photo of the colorful creature.

    It actually is a real animal I read this story/ blog thing a long time ago, and then i did some research about it, and it turns out it IS a real animal, if you don’t believe me then do some research and you will soon find out that I AM right.
