Jaw - The mouth of a pink is white, but the gums and tongue are black, as they are in a chinook. It does not have "teeth" on its tongue.

Tail - The pink salmon tail is covered with large oval spots. It does not have silver on the tail. The scales are very small compared to other salmon of the same size.
