I have noticed a number of stories about albino animals lately. It just feels like there are more of them lately.
It seems the albinism is occurring in more and more species.  I found a video of some interesting albino animals.

The albino giraffes are incredible. 

Speaking of albino animals....

I am thinking of the name Willow. 

Albinism is an interesting genetic condition.

I know many of these animals only survive because we look after them, but there are still many who are surviving and doing well in the wild. I find myself wondering if there are more albinos occurring or are they surviving more often. I know they seem to be more delicate. I will let you know how Willow does.
