White but not albino

For an animal with a white fur, we can easily cut the albino marker on it if it is very different from the normal coloring.

Yet not all albinos at all are white. An example of this is the few-month-old kangaroo who recently arrived at the New York Zoo. Although her skin is just as white under her snow-white hair, she is not an albino individual because her eyes are not affected by the lack of pigment. A rare mutation, leucism results in the white kangaroo.

The 5-month-old young animal is called Cosmo. It is a healthy, strong specimen, but safe in its artificial environment. In nature, it would be much more vulnerable because of its white color, which does not help hiding at all.
