CHAPTER 1 THAT’s FREAKING UGLY!

Don’t worry — I’m all white!

Albinos are animals whose skin, eyes and fur have no color pigments. They can look white or even pink due to the color of their blood showing through. For wild animals, this rare trait can spell trouble. Unless they live in snow fields, they have trouble hiding from predators. A white animal, for example, can’t camouflage itself against a brown tree trunk!

Sea creatures can be albino too! Migaloo is an extremely rare white humpback whale that is regularly sighted migrating up the eastern coast of Australia.
