GA Aquarium's rare albino alligators

Rare albino alligators on display at Georgia Aquarium

This eight year old female albino American alligator is one of two at Georgia Aquarium on Thursday, April 22, 2010.

Biologist Nate Farnau holds one of the two albino American alligators. This alligator is an eight year old female and the other one is a seven year old male. There are fewer than 50 albino alligators living in the United States.

Albino alligators are called "ghost of the swamp" an have an estimated survival rate of only 24 hours in the wild due to their sensitivity to direct UV light radiation and blatant inability to blend in because of the lack of camouflage coloration.
