Why can't albino American Alligators survive in the wild?

Answer 1

They don't blend in or camouflage well because they are white. Many animals of all origins are colored so that they better blend into their environments and are therefore less noticeable to predators or prey. Alligators, who rely on their natural camouflage so that prey, or food animals, do not generally detect them until it is too late. A white alligator would not have this advantage and therefore would not eat well or at all.

Answer 2

Albino American alligators lack protective pigmentation, making them more vulnerable to predators and sun damage in the wild. Their light-colored skin and eyes also make it difficult for them to blend in with their surroundings, making them easy targets for predators. Additionally, their impaired vision due to their lack of pigmentation can hinder their ability to hunt for food and avoid danger.
