Newlyweds were treated to an incredibly rare sight on their wedding day when the whale-watching vessel they were aboard encountered an albino dolphin calf — likely the first of its kind seen in Africa.
The lucky couple, along with their family and friends, saw the unusually colored cetacean April 4 onboard a Raggy Charters vessel in Algoa Bay, a marine wildlife hotspot in South Africa's Eastern Cape province. Lloyd Edwards, boat captain and owner of Raggy Charters, was the first to spot the ghostly creature among a large pod of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus).
