Gallery of Albino Animals

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Albino PeacockIt’s the winter season, so it seemed almost fitting that I stumbled across a gallery of albino animals. Entitled, “Albino animals: ghosts of the wild.”

Some animals do exhibit light colored winter coats in order to help better camouflage themselves as part of the predator prey dance; but there is also albinism–the partial or total lack of pigment production. Albino animals are certainly strikingly different than the others in their breeds. Pale and white as the driven snow, and pink iris eyes.
