A couple in Brazil has added to a growing list of ridiculous and potentially dangerous gender reveals after they dyed a 60-foot-tall waterfall blue, and are now being investigated for potential environmental damage.

The couple, whose identities have not been revealed, reportedly released blue dye into a waterfall along the Queima Pé river on Sunday (25 September) to celebrate the gender of their baby. They also set off blue-coloured smoke bombs.

According to Brazilian news site G1, the couple has since deleted the video of the gender reveal from their social media, but clips are still online.

The outlet also revealed that the Secretary of State for the Environment (Sema-MT) in Mato Grosso in central west Brazil, is “investigating the incident and will determine if there was environmental damage”.

“A team composed of two servers from Sema-MT and four servers from the Secretary of the Municipality of Tangará da Serra are on site and nearby investigating the complaint,” the department told G1.

The person in charge of the gender reveal party reportedly told G1 that no chemical product was used to dye the waterfall, and they would make a further statement after the investigation has taken place.
