you probably thought nature couldn't get any more aesthetically pleasing
but you'd be surprised to see what mother nature still has to offer

any of these crazy looking animals number 10. the alligator
finally the surprise you've all been waiting for
the albino alligator when you imagine an alligator you imagine them green
more or less the ivory-skinned reptile with pink eyes really changes our
perception of alligators altogether albino alligators are extremely rare
biologists estimate there are only about a hundred in the world
about 80 percent of alligator hatchlings don't make it to adulthood
according to the smithsonian national zoological park and albino alligators
especially don't survive long in the wild
even if they manage to escape predators such as birds raccoons
bobcats large fish and other alligators their pale skin
leaves them vulnerable to sunburns snowflake
is one of the hundred known albino alligators and lives in the brookfield
zoo in illinois he can't camouflage or see
clearly making it difficult to catch prey and
even more difficult to survive in the wild
snowflake relies on the zookeepers to give them food

the orangutan the fact there is only one albino orangutan in the world is
altogether a fascinating sight this lone albino was named alba because
who said there was the need to be creative with the name
she was first discovered and rescued from the jungles in indonesia 2017
because the orangutan survival foundation team believed it would be
difficult for her to survive in the wild given that albino animals suffer from
bad eyesight among other issues but after 20 months of rehabilitation
they decided it was safe to let the blue eyed pale skin creature
return home to the jungle do you think releasing this rare albino orangutan in
the wild was a good idea comment down below number eight
the dog who doesn't love doggos they're loyal
clingy adorable and lifelong partners for some
here's the albino doberman it may be confused for a normal white fur dog
but a way you know if a dog is albino is to take a closer look at their eyes
they are significantly pink the lack of pigment in their eyes makes it difficult
to see and lack of pigments in their fur can
cause easily sunburnt skin it's common knowledge that these white
dobermans tend to have health problems and behavioral issues because of its
poor vision and the dog being unsure of its surroundings it may lead
to fear biting some countries have banned the breeding
of this dog mutation and breeders are encouraged
not to purposely breed for this color it is seen as inhumane to the dog due to
the potential of serious health concerns the owners of albino pets need to keep
extra care of their dogs for example by keeping them away from
bright sunlight and always having sunscreen around
unfortunately albinism is a disease but in animals this mutation
is seen as a rare miracle
my pick for today inspired many movies that being
number seven gorilla we've all seen the movie rampage and the
badass albino gorilla that the rock handles
if not you should the reality of an albino gorilla may ruin your perception
of the fearsome creature they show in the movies well
here's the good news bad news and weird news
the news is that albino gorillas have existed bad news is the last one died
back in 2003 making them officially extinct and weird
news this last and most famous gorilla was
the product of incest also named snowflake because apparently
that's the only name you can come up with for an albino gorilla
this guy was kept in captivity because of his unique color he was diagnosed
with skin cancer due to albinism and experienced so much pain he was
euthanized this bittersweet story inspired a number
of movies and pbs even dedicated an episode in his honor
number six deer fairy tales might be the only place where snow white deer existed
in your head but in fact albino deer have been found
in different countries throughout the world
by definition an albino deer is totally absent of body pigment
and is solid white with pink eyes nose and hooves
the chances of seeing a pure albino are one in thirty thousand
a deer bean albino is both a curse and a blessing
you see when you lose your camouflage it's much easier for a hunter or
predator to see you from great distances however the beauty and grace of these
creatures stop most hunters from killing them
as it is also considered taboo to kill a white deer
but what you may come across more commonly is
probably not an albino often confused with an albino a pie ball deer is
slightly more common and is also a simple genetic mutation
piebald deer can have varying amounts of white hair
some pie ball deer can almost be pure white except small patches of regular
brown hair while others carry just patches of white
hair and otherwise normal markings either way they sure are mythical
number five the zebra it's easy to see why albino zebras are sometimes called
golden zebra when hearing the word zebra the first
thing that comes to mind is black and white stripes
so who would know that they can betray their very nature
just like the giraffes these creatures of the wild can also have leukism
their stripes vary from being a faded shade of grey to being as white as the
rest of its body altogether a zebra stripe fur serves the purpose of
confusing the predator from targeting a single zebra from a
herd therefore the absence of stripes decreases their
survival rate which is why albino zebras are only known to exist in captivity in
the present day such extraordinary beauty had to come
with a price do you think zebras are white in black
stripes or black with white stripes tell us what you think of the comments
number four turtle meet the extremely rare adorable
albino sea turtle now sea turtles have been on the
endangered species list for a long time you can only imagine how rare the
discovery of an albino one is they are so rare and so magnificent that
they tend to cause a stir online when spotted
several years ago an albino pink belly side neck turtle was born
with her heart beating outside of her body how is that even possible
appropriately named hope she became an online sensation and continues to thrive
thanks to the care of her owner in 2016 a baby albino sea turtle was left behind
by its 121 siblings only to be discovered by a group of
volunteers on the coast of castaway's beach in australia
and immediately became an internet celebrity talk about a born star
number three the whale oh this stunning beauty sure is the
sight to behold just look at its massive size the glory
of it all the same giant of the sea except it's
all white only three or four albino humpback
whales are known to exist and are occasionally seen on the coast of
australia being the size of six cars back to back
these whales are pretty hard to miss considered to be the most famous
humpback whale in the world the megaloo has more followers on twitter than most
of us and his story has brought people from all

expected to live past his 30th birthday as well

number two giraffe giraffes on their own are pretty unique
looking creatures just look at that majestic neck but you
know what's even more unique and majestic
an albino giraffe you've probably never heard of an albino giraffe and
unfortunately you may not be lucky enough to see one
because as of march 2020 there was only one albino giraffe on the
planet left and no they did not just die because of
their unique melanin they were hunted by poachers to
extinction there were actually three albino
giraffes spotted in kenya two of which were hunted and only one
remained alive reportedly in the latest news these
giraffes are completely white sometimes excluding their dots which are
faded in colors these tall beauties were first found in
africa in 2017. the controversy around these giraffes is
that they aren't necessarily albino some may just be suffering from a
genetic condition called leukism number one
the peacock if you believe peacocks to be the most elegant animals out there
prepare yourself for a real treat to the eyes as if they weren't already so
stunning and captivating they decided to stun people some more
with their albino addition despite sounding like a rare sight
albino peacocks are actually easily seen in many zoos that may be due
to the fact that they're not albino at all
they're just white peacocks all they have is a missing pigment
already being the animal symbolizing royalty and love white peacocks also
represent spirituality and light they're pretty common in indian villages
and citing one is said to be a sign of good luck thank you for watching
