El albinismo es una deficiencia innata de melanina que resulta en una falta de color en la piel, el cabello, el pelaje y el iris del ojo. En las personas, hay un albino en cada 20 mil recién nacidos. Curiosamente, en África, al sur del Sahara, nacen mucho más a menudo. También es interesante que no solo las personas pueden ser albinos, los animales también pueden ser albinos. Probablemente no sea fácil ser un tigre blanco, un búho blanco o una jirafa blanca en el mundo salvaje. Aquí te mostramos los ejemplares de albinismo más impresionantes del mundo animal.

The all white, likely albino Risso's dolphin made an appearance today in a pod of hundreds of other Risso's plus a few northern right whale dolphins! We also saw humpback whales feeding with sea lions! #getonaboat #rissosdolphin #dolphins #albino #montereybay #mosslanding
