An albino animal is an animal that is competently white. They also have red eyes. Albino animals are rare to see in zoos and the wild. Most albinos can't see, so the wild albinos usually die. Zoo kept albinos are rare because in breeding it is difficult to get an albino in the first place. As you see in the picture, two ostriches are completely white. Those are albino ostriches. But not every white animal you see is albino. It has to ave pink skin around the eye and a red eye. Just because you see a white dog or cat does not mean it is albino.

What term is used for an animal lacking in pigmentation?

How are albino animals made?
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.
