This is Pingo and Nina. They are believed to be the only Rainbow Dalmatians in the world. Approximately 25% of their spots are red, blue, or yellow, instead of black. Scientists are stumped, but one thing is certain: it would be an honor to pet them. 14/10 for both
Just 30% of our planet is covered by land. The rest is covered by our ocean. 🌍
