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.

An animal lacking in pigmentation is referred to as albino. Albino animals have a genetic condition that results in a lack of melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, fur, and eyes. This lack of pigmentation can give albino animals a white or pale appearance.
Yes. Albino animals are at an increased risk of skin cancer.
Albino animals usually have white skin or fur, and red eyes.
No. albino animals are a genetic fluke of a certain species. If the species of animal are endangered, then the albino is as well, but being albino makes no difference to the status of the species.
The true albino has no pigmentation at all. Some forms are largely white (polar bears and baby seals, for example) but they aren't albinos.
