TL;DR Summary

An extremely rare white leucistic alligator with twinkling blue eyes was born in Orlando, Florida, making it one of only eight known leucistic alligators in the world. This is the first white leucistic alligator ever born in human care. The baby gator, a female, was born alongside her normal colored brother and is being kept safe and away from guests to ensure her normal growth and development. Gatorland, the alligator park where she was born, plans to put her on display next year. The public is invited to suggest names for the baby white gator and her brother on Gatorland's social media pages.
