48 Albino Animals That Don’t Need Color To Look Cool
Given the myriad of colors, we see in the animal kingdom, seeing a purely white animal can be an unsettling but magical experience. Albino animals, as well as rare all-white species and leucistic creatures, are the same as any other animals, but with a coloration that makes them (sometimes literally) one in a million.
Albinism is an umbrella term that covers a variety of genetic pigmentation disorders. Most creatures born with albinism are born with white or pink skin and fur, and some (not all) have reddish or violet eyes as well. Albinism in animals is associated with poor eyesight and a higher susceptibility to skin cancers, but such cute animals and people are otherwise no different from their peers. Leucism is a similar condition that can affect a wider array of pigments than albinism does.
Though the white fur might seem super cool, it actually makes the animal pop out of their environments more, thus more visible to predators. And if these unusual animals might fit well in ever-wintery landscapes, it is so much harder for the ones living in the jungle.
If you have a photo of a beautiful, all-white, cool animal, we'd love to see it added to this list!

Many of these are leucistic, not albino.
I wondered the same since not all of their eyes were pink.
It states that they can be one or the other,so what are you proving with your statement??
It states that only in SOME cases of albinism will the carrier have violet or red eyes. If you read it all you'd see that.
The deer 'family' looks shopped, they all have exactly the same urine spot/different coat colour on the same place on their hocks.
Nature's absolutely gorgeous.
This is misleading as most of these animals are not actually albino, they are leucistic.
It states that they are either albino or the other. Y'all clearly don't READ before you open your faces. Ignorance must be bliss
How can one determine whether an animal is leucistic/albino or just white? My cat is all white &has eyes of 2 different colours.Just curious

I’ve had a lot of albino pets mainly because no one else wanted them and thought they were scary even my friends stay away from them...

I think only those which have red eyes are albino. Not sure of that, just think.
