The aim of this report is to highlight the concern of protection on the marine species in particular coral reef and pink dolphins. Information about pink dolphins was sorted out in a detailed analysis about their body and living habitat. Research studies about pink dolphins based on various factors proved that dolphins belong to a group of highly intelligent creatures which lived in the ocean. There was investigation carried out on the coral reefs and corals regarding their habitat, distribution and the types of corals available in the earth. Through the use of computer animations, pink dolphin’s anatomy and coral reef environment were created virtually to further illustrate the understanding about them. The coral reef environment was created in such a way that it was of an exceptional beauty to look at and had to be appreciated by people about their existence. Virtual pink dolphins were produced and simulated to perform a show to arouse the interest of people. This helps to put a stop to the killing of such extinct animal and find means in protecting them against any harm.
