Because life can be full of bullshit, here's some pleasant counterprogramming:

Meet 3.3 m/11 ft #InspectorClouseau

(Old people like me will get the #PinkPanther reference)

First spotted off #Australia in 2015

The only #pink #mantaRay we've discovered in the world, now or ever

Researchers have studied him (yes, a he) as to cause

Diet: no. Stress: no. Toxins: no. Infection: no

They now think it is just a rare genetic mutation

Researchers suspect a genetic mutation may have gifted the giant fish, named Inspector Clouseau, his rosy hue
