Added on: 26th Apr 2016
LION
With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, the lion is
the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Normally, its
colouration varies from light buff to yellowish,
reddish, or dark ochre brown.
WALLABY
Found in Australia and New Guinea, the wallaby is a small or
mid-sized herbivorous macro pod relative to the kangaroo.
Wallaby´s fur usually varies from greyish to red and brown.
PENGUIN
Native to southern African waters, African penguins are easily
recognizable by their black facial masks. This albino specimen
that hatched at the Bristol zoo was completely white though.
FALLOW DEER
The fallow deer is a small, usually about 150 cm (60 inch) long deer
that can be found in most of Europe. The colouration of this
animal varies greatly but most fallow deer have a chestnut
coat with white mottles.
SQUIRREL
In squirrels, colouration is highly variable between (but sometimes
even within) species. Nevertheless, an albino squirrel is
extremely rare no matter what species it is.
RAT
Native to all continents except for Antarctica, the rat is a
medium-sized, long-tailed rodent. The most common species
of rat are the black and the brown rat but albino rats
have also been recorded.
TIGER
The white tiger is a pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger, which
is occasionally reported in some Indian states. According to
scientists, one white tiger is born out of 10,000 births.
BUFFALO
In native American religions, white buffalos are considered sacred.
They are extremely rare though, The National Bison Association
has estimated that they only occur in approximately one
out of every 10 million births.
PEACOCK
In peacocks, it might be difficult to tell if the bird is albino or have a
genetic mutation called leucism. Both albino and leucistic peacocks
are entirely white but albinos have red or pink eyes
while leucistics have blue eyes.
