Albino animals are born due to a rare recessive genetic mutation that prevents any pigments in the skin from developing, making the animal appear pink or white with red eyes. Two normal looking animals can produce albino offspring if they both carry one normal gene which allows pigment development and one albino gene. If they breed together and both pass on the albino gene to the offspring, it will appear albino.
