Introduction to albino animals, what are albino animals?

1. Albinism whales.

When it comes to albinism, it's not just land animals that need protection, even the world's albinism whales need help, such as a rare albino humpback whale named Migaar, which attracts many people to the Australian coast and waters, and in fact, they hurt the whale in the process because the human ship is too close to it.

2. A white tiger with a genetic mutation.

Although technically the tiger was not a victim of albinism, this particular case is worth discussing because it involves an animal that was imposed on it by its own genetic mutation, as a result of which it turned white. Sometimes mutations affect animals in ways you wouldn't expect. One example of this is a tiger named Kenny.

Moreover, not only has its color changed, but its health has also suffered.

3. White giraffe.

Owning two very rare white giraffes in Kenya, news about them spread around the world in 2017 after they were photographed. It is only a rare white subspecies of giraffe, not an albino giraffe, which turns white because of a genetic mutation. Regrettably, the two white giraffes were later killed by poachers.

Individuals with abnormal body color are generally white, and members of the same species are very similar to each other in terms of morphological structure for species in nature. However, in higher animals, there are occasionally individuals who are different from the same species, especially in the body color such as feather or coat color, which are obviously different from all other individuals of the same species, but there is no difference between them and other individuals of the same species in their internal structure and various organs, and they also have the ability to reproduce offspring; Thing. It is said that the area around Shennongjia in Hubei Province is the area where albino animals appear the most.

However, in higher animals, there are occasional individuals that are different from the same species, especially in coat color and other body colors, which are significantly different from all other individuals of the same species.

Albinos are no different from other individuals of the same species in their internal structure and organs, and they also have the ability to reproduce offspring. It is said that the area around Shennongjia in Hubei Province is the area where albino animals appear the most.

Albinism is mostly found in reptiles, birds and mammals, among which there are many species found in mammals, including white rabbits, white rats, white monkeys, white snakes, white owls, white fish, white foxes, white lions, white tigers, white camels, white yaks, albino hedgehogs, albino lobsters, albino koalas, etc., the list goes on. There are also such individuals in human beings, who belong to albinism, commonly known as "heavenly children".

Causes of the formation of albino animals:

The ways in which genes affect an animal's body color are complex. It is mainly to control the activity of enzymes, through enzymes to control the biochemical reaction process in the body, and finally determine the morphology of the animal.

In normal animals, some phenylalanine is involved in the formation of proteins in the animal body, while others are converted into tyrosine, which is finally formed by tyrosinase. However, due to the lack of tyrosinase in albino animals, melanin cannot be synthesized, resulting in albinism.

As the saying goes, "The world is as black as a crow". However, in the Shennongjia area in the northwest of Hubei Province in China, you can not only find white crows, but also see many white animals such as white snakes, white turtles, and white roe deer.

For species in nature, the morphological structure of the members of the same species is very similar to each other, but in higher animals, there will occasionally be individuals who are different from the same species, especially in the body color such as feather or coat color and all other individuals of the same species are obviously different, but there is no difference between them and other individuals of the same species in their internal structure and various organs, and they also have the ability to reproduce offspring. Individuals with this abnormal body color are generally white in color, and all are referred to as albino animals.

There are many atavistic phenomena, or genetic mutations, variations that are affected by the environment.

1. The atavistic phenomenon, a genetic phenomenon of Terrais, has lost the function of the gene from the new expression. This example du

Zi doesn't want to think about it.

2. Gene mutations, or DAO slave groups, make colored genes not express color traits. For example, the living environment of the White Tiger 3 is unable to express color due to the lack of elements necessary for the synthesis of colored traits. Humans are deficient in iron and zinc.

4. Some other individual animals will change their moult and color according to light and temperature. Such as snow rabbits.

Genetically mutated albino animals are born different, and the more you look at them, the cuter they become.

Because except for the North Pole and the South Pole, the natural environmental color is not white, and if the animal is white, it is easy to be preyed on by natural predators, according to the theory of evolution, there are fewer white animals as a result of natural selection. However, the Arctic and Antarctic environmental colors are dominated by white, and white has become a protective color, and there are more white animals as a result of natural selection.
