"Rare White Alligator Born at Florida Park: A Phenomenal Sight"

Gatorland in Orlando has announced the birth of an extremely rare white leucistic alligator, the first of its kind born in human care and one of only eight known in the world. Leucistic alligators have a white coloration with patches of normal coloration and blue eyes, distinguishing them from albino alligators. The baby alligator, a female, is in good health and will be on display at the park next year. The American alligator population, once endangered, now numbers around 5 million.
