Albino Alligators New at Georgia Aquarium
Loading...
Uploaded by GeorgiaAquarium on Apr 23, 2010
The Georgia Aquarium is now home to two rare albino American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), which are at home in the Southern Company River Scout gallery. The male and female alligators, which measure approximately three and six feet in length, are two of a population of fewer than 50 albino American alligators living in the United States.
The albino alligator is one of two types of white alligators, which are the same species as the commonly recognized American alligator with olive and black coloration. The white coloring is due to a very rare genetic mutation that affects the production of melanin, a skin pigment. The albino alligators eyes appear pink or red because the underlying blood vessels in the iris can be seen due to the absence of pigment.

LOL, Donations.
Kiss it, wrestle it, or teach it tricks, the fact that it exists is of no concern to me.

Albino is not a "type" of alligator. Albino is literally an illness.
