"Florida Reptile Park Welcomes Extraordinarily Rare White Leucistic Alligator"

An extremely rare white leucistic alligator has been born at Gatorland Orlando, a Florida reptile park. The female alligator, descended from a nest of leucistic alligators discovered in Louisiana in 1987, is the first solid white alligator ever recorded from those original alligators. Leucistic alligators are the rarest genetic variation in American alligators, differing from albino alligators by having blue eyes and a partial loss of pigment. The park is seeking public help in naming the alligator, and visitors will be able to see her and her normal-colored brother early next year.
