Albino Kangaroo Australia
Albino kangaroos are unable to produce any kind of pigment, hence their white coloration and pink eyes: Blood vessels normally masked by eye colour show through. Albinism is a recessive trait, meaning both parents must pass the mutation on to their offspring. Albino kangaroos occur once every 50,000 to 100,000 animals.
