albino animal

White-furred genetic variant

An albino animal lacks pigmentation due to a genetic condition, resulting in white or pale coloring and typically pink or red eyes.

Albinism occurs across species—albino deer, alligators, and peacocks appear in nature, though their visibility makes survival difficult.

The albino squirrel became a local attraction.
