Albino animals When albinism is present, the animal can appear white or pink. All or nothing - or something. An animal can be completely albino (pure albino) or have leucism. Pure albino animals will have pink eyes, nails, skin and/or scales. The pink coloration comes from blood vessels showing through the skin. | Ghorial Bangla

A rare, leucistic sandhill crane was seen nagging geese, playing with a stick, and flying away into the fog on March 2nd. Leucism is the partial loss of pigmentation due to a genetic mutation. Each day of the great sandhill migration is truly a new experience! #cranetrust #birdwatching #leucistic #migration | Crane Trust

Have you ever seen coloration like this on a pheasant? 😮 Lane Hennings harvested this leucistic pheasant near Waterloo recently. Leucism is a genetic condition that prevents pigments from reaching some of a bird's feathers, but their eyes and skin have normal pigmentation. Albinism is the complete lack of pigment, with all white coloration, including eyes and skin. | Iowa Department of Natural Resources
