WHITE OR ALBINO ANIMALS

Added on: 5th Jul 2016

 

ALLIGATOR

It’s rare but albinism occurs in reptiles too. In 1995, an

albino alligator was born in Florida.

 

 

MOUSE

albino mouse

A small rodent notable for its typical pointed snout, the mouse

is normally greyish to brownish but as it is a common object of

laboratory experiments, an albino mouse is less rare than most

other albino animals.

 

 

GORILLA

In 1966, an albino western lowland gorilla was caught in

Equatorial Guinea. The specimen was then transported to

Barcelona zoo where he was given the name Snowflake

and lived until his death in 2004. He died of skin cancer

that was related to his albinism.

 

 

RABBIT

In rabbits, there are ten different colour gene groups but a

rabbit’s coat only has two pigments, pheomelanin (yellow)

and eumelanin (dark brown). Albino rabbits (with no pigment)

also occur sometimes.

 

 

ALLIGATOR GAR

Albinism can be seen in fish as well. One of the greatest

examples of an albino fish was this albino alligator gar.

Considered to be a living fossil, alligator gars are

usually brown, olive to grey or yellow.

 

 

JACKAL

albino jackal

The Jackal is a canid native to south eastern and central Europe,

 Asia Minor, the Middle East, and South Asia. While most

jackals have colouration similar to that of a wolf, this

specimen spotted in Iran was completely white.

 

 

KOOKABURRA

albino kookaburra

In birds, albinism is not as rare as in other animals but spotting

an albino bird is still something special and unique.

Normally, kookaburras (kingfishers native to Australia

and New Guinea) have colourful plumage.

 

 

BURMESE PYTHON

One of the largest snakes in the world, the Burmese python is

a dark-coloured snake with many brown blotches bordered

in black down the back. Unless it is an albino like this

specimen kept in a Japanese zoo.
