Ghosts of the Wild

Albino animals are an amazing and rare sight. They are unable to produce a pigment known as melanin that produces normal coloring in other animals.

Not all white animals are albino the real test is in the eyes. A true albino has pink/red eyes and occasionally pale yellow.

Often albinism is an inherited.There are about 300 species that have a albino member. Scientists speculate that out of every 10,000 mammals one will be born albino.

Let's take a look at some of the most amazing Ghosts of the Wild:
