WHITE OR ALBINO LOOKING ANIMALS

PUG

Yes, even dogs can be albino. Normally, pugs are known

for their typical black mask, which is obviously not

the case for this adorable albino pug.

HEDGEHOG

After domesticated hedgehogs became popular in the early

1980’s, several new colours of these spiny mammals

were created, including albino.

FERRET

In ferrets, the domesticating process might have started as

early as 2,500 years ago. These days, ferrets have been

fully domesticated. Albino ferrets are very popular pets.

FROG

Plentiful in ponds in rivers in sub-Saharan Africa, the African

clawed frog is usually greenish-grey in colour. However,

even within this species, albinos have been recorded.

MOCKINGBIRD

Best known for their ability to mimic other birds´ songs,

mockingbirds come in many different colours, depending on

the particular species. In the US, the northern mockingbird

is the most common species.

CATFISH

Among aquarists, albino pet fish are very popular. Catfish is

one of the species in which genetically created

albinism is quite common.

BAT

Bats are usually grey to black but in 2012, an albino bat with

red eye was spotted in Masbate, an island province of

the Philippines.

KOALA

Koala´s pelage mostly ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown

but several albino koalas have also been documented.

In 1997, an albino koala named Onya-Birri was born at

the San Diego Zoo.
