TL;DR Summary

Heartwarming footage captures a rare pink albino elephant calf playing in Kruger National Park, South Africa, due to a genetic condition called albinism, which affects pigment production. The calf, estimated to be around 1 year old, is fully accepted among the herd, contrary to potential ostracization observed in other species with albinism. This rare sighting highlights the importance of wildlife conservation efforts in protecting unique and vulnerable species.
