Did you know that 1 in every 10,000 mammals will be born with albinism? Albinism is a condition that results in a defect in melatonin production which leads to little to no color pigment in a mammal’s skin, hair, or eyes. Because it’s such a rare condition, most cases of albinism are well recorded.
Sometimes, however, there are special cases where an albino mammal goes unnoticed…






“I took some lovely shots of the pink elephant. Some of the shots show it framed by the legs of another elephant, you can really see the contrast in color between the two as the calf shows off its unique pinkness beautifully.”

Nicki has been coming to this same national park for several decades, and never before has he seen a pink elephant,
“I have an idea that this is a once-in-a-lifetime sighting for me.”
