Unusually White Animals That Are So Rare, You’ll Probably Never See Them In Real Life.Since ancient times, white animals held a special place in human society and are prominent and even sacred in many cultures’ mythologies.

Rare genetic mutations sometimes cause an animal to be born lacking the regular color of its species. These animals can be true albinos, which lack all pigments and have white fur and reddish-pink eyes, or leucistic, with white or light-colored fur but possessing some other pigments.

These animals are practically impossible to find in the wild as their color makes them extremely vulnerable to predators.
Given the millions of different shades of color that we see in nature, it’s no wonder that, once in a while, nature might simply run out of paint. Perhaps this is why pure-white animals leave such a strong impression on us. Some of them look like ghostly spirit animals. Others, like albino whales or moose, are lonely one-in-a-million albinos with striking, unexpected appearances.

Albinism (with its root in the Latin word albus, or white) is a form of hypopigmentary congenital disorder, characterized by a partial lack or total absence of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair, or more rarely in the eyes alone. Due to this, animals (and humans too) with albinism are unusually pale. The eyes of an animal with albinism occasionally appear red because of the underlying retinal blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them.

Some of the animals on this list are albinos, while others are simply members of rare white species. Whatever the case, mankind has been fascinated by such animals for ages. Some consider them to be sacred, and others – demonic.

Whether you find them strange, beautiful, ghostly or freakish, we hope you enjoy this collection of animals that nature simply forgot to color in.
