How do you say albino in German language?

What happens to animals that are born ''albino'' in the wild?
Albinism is a condition where the body lacks an enzyme called tyrosinase, which forms pigment. Pigment is found in skin, hair, and eyes, so with this lack of pigment albino animals (and people) have white hair, white or pink skin, and red or pink eyes. Albinism is a birth defect. Albinos are only born once every 17,000 births. With this lack of pigment it results health problems, like poor vision, and extreme sensitivity to sunlight. (I know all this by heart because I did two reports on albinism, you're welcome)
