For those of you who don't know, vitiligo is a harmless long-term skin disorder characterized by white patches that appear on different parts of the body. This happens because the body's immune system attacks and destroys the skin cells that make color (called melanocytes).
Around one percent of the world's population (approximately 50 million people) are thought to have vitiligo, including between two to five million in the US alone, and although it's more common in humans, it can also occur in animals as well. Take a look at the pictures below to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list includes everything from cats, dogs and birds to snakes and even giraffes!

Rottweilers have to fight past negative attitudes anyhow... and now this poor baby has to endure vitiligo that makes him look even spookier. I saw one poor Rottweiler who can't be adopted because of looking different / scary with vitiligo. Just ain't fair

Harlequin Beaucerons usually have brown on them, don't they? Maybe it's a mixed breed, or maybe it really is vitiligo.

Crows have black beaks that are much larger and are larger birds. Not sure of the exact identity of this bird however but it's not a crow-maybe a variety of myna? (not a common myna though)

Not vitiligo, He/she is a piebald (his head has orange spots on his head, and has a few darker spots on his left wing. a true vitiligo would not have these marks). An amazing color nonetheless!

Could be, but unless you are familiar with this particular bird how do you know if those white patches were always there in adult plumage or if they have gradually appeared? If always there then leucism is the logical conclusion if these markings are not normally found on this species.

Number 18 does not have vitiligo, he has the merle gene. His coat is partially diluted and not the strong white that most Vitiligo animals have.
