Does being completely white make them less cute?
On the contrary, unlike albino humans I think these critters are even cuter than their “custom” colored kin. It’s clear that animals aren’t protected from genetic anomalies any more than people are, but at least most of them are not discriminating. If you’re interested, read more about the albino croc and the albino moose.

The peacock is not albino, it is naturally white, like the white swan e.g.. So it is not a genetically mistake!

The gorilla is photoshopped.

Alot of these animals are actually LEUSISTIC, not Albinos. Albinos lack all black pigments and thus have pink eyes. Many of these pics show black eyes.

I’m pretty sure the white alligator is also naturally white.

the gorilla isn’t photoshopped, try search “copito de nieve” in google.

We had two or three albino squirrels in the trees at my school when I grew up. Fantastic to see.
I wonder if albinoism is nature’s way of getting through periods in history where little sunlight reaches the earth’s surface, i.e. during meteorite crashes, volcanoes, &c.

The gorila was real. Not photoshop.
It was in Barcelona´s zoo. Was the alpha male of the group there and his name was “copito de nieve” meaning snow flake.

The gorilla is most definitely not photoshopped. His name was “Copito de Nieve” (”Little Snowflake”) and lived at Barcelona Zoo until he died a vew years ago.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copito_de_Nieve.

That’s the gorilla I saw the original Star Trek, they must have cut the horns off.

The gorilla is named “Floquet de Neu” and it means “Little Snowflake”. He was a very big star in the zoo of Barcelona last century.

I’d like to know the survival rate for these type of animals.

Funky!

As far as I can tell the only non albino animal in the list is the peacock. If you look it up the White Peacock is a rare version of the Indian Peacock, but it is not an albino mutation. The ape is real, the alligator is also real. no photoshopping in any of these pics. The white whale would be awesome to get to see though.

The snake is gross!! Yuck..discusting!

That burmese python and several of the other animals up there are leusistic, not albino. The peacock is a naturally occuring color phase, not a mutation. Albinos have red eyes, dark eyed whites are either color phases or lesustic, most leusistic creatures have clear nails and hair, so are very obvious. An albino burmese python is actually orange and white, no where near the snow white snake in the picture. Only a leusistic snake is completely solid white and is a herp collectors dream snake. Not everything that is white is albino.

Also, im pretty sure people suffering from albinism are pretty damn offended by that opening line. What difference does it make what color they are?
