Albinism in animals is a genetic condition characterized by a lack of melanin, the pigment responsible for coloration in skin, fur, and eyes. This results in white or very light-colored fur or feathers, and often pink or red eyes. Albinism can occur in various species, including mammals, birds, and reptiles, and is caused by mutations in specific genes. Animals with albinism may face challenges in the wild, such as increased visibility to predators and difficulties in regulating body temperature. Additionally, their unique appearance can lead to social challenges within their species. Despite these challenges, some albino animals can adapt and survive in their environments.
