RE: STEEMIT GIRL HALO - Shark Petting Aquarium Adventure

At first glance you probably thought this white alligator is albino, but it is actually leucistic.
Not all white animals are albino. True albino animals lack skin pigments called melanin. Their eyes are red or pink in color because the blood vessels in the eyes can be seen. Some animals that appear white may have some skin pigments and their eyes may be blue or normal colored. These animals are called leucistic.

That's pretty awesome. I assumed it would have just been an albino. Maybe next time they will have humpback whales ;)

It's interesting because I have vitiligo (lack of pigment on some parts of the body) and

Would you ever wan to go into a shark cage if you had the opportunity?

Sort:  

I wish i could have seen humpback whales, and yes i would love to go in a shark cage. I don't think my husband would let me though, he would be like your gonna get hurt or ate.
