List of white animals

Answer 1

An animal born white is called an Albino. An albino also normally has red or pink eyes. Often albinos dont survive for long in the wild, because their eyesight is very bad, and they are really easily seen. A lot of animals have natural white variations, such as rats, mice, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and horses. There is no special name for these except white. They usually have the same colour eyes as is normal for the species (although white horses and cats often have blue eyes and cats may be deaf), black or dark paw pads and noses, and different coloured markings. The name I think you're looking for is albino. An albino animal is one that is born with a complete absence of any pigment. A true albino has pink eyes (the irises are unpigmented, you are seeing the blood at the back of the eye. Red-eye whites or pink-eye whites are the albino form of rodents - look for this.) Albinos lack pigment anywhere on the body, so their fur will be white all over with no trace of markings. Their skin is unpigmented, so should look pale cream or pink. Their noses and paw pads will be either pink or light tan, depending on how thick the skin is because callused skin tends to become brown even if it is not pigmented. There are lots of animals sold as albino that are not. These include fish, reptiles and occasionally rodents. They are bred to lack one or more pigments so that they appear white or much lighter in colour than the wild form, or so that some markings fade or vanish. (An example is the albino form of the kribensis fish - the normal krib is black and white striped with pink markings. On the 'albino' the black stripes disappear.) If there is any pigment present at all the animal is not a true albino. The word albino is used for the sake of convenience.
