Albinism is a rare genetic condition that affects the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. Albinism can be found in plants, animals, and humans, but some of the rarest albino things are:
Albino Animals
Albino animals are some of the rarest creatures in the world. Among them, the albino gorilla is perhaps the rarest, with only one known individual in captivity. Other rare albino animals include albino deer, albino alligators, albino whales, albino snakes, and albino turtles.
Albino Plants
Albino plants are also incredibly rare. Scientists have identified albino varieties of many common plants, including roses, cacti, and ferns. The rarest albino plant is the albino redwood tree, which was discovered in California in 2017.
Albino People
Albino people are among the rarest of all albinos. Only 1 in 20,000 people in the world are born with albinism. People with albinism can experience challenges with their vision, skin, and hair, but they can also lead full and successful lives.
