Re: White Elk
What a beast! Albinism is not too uncommon among many animals. Thanks for sharing.

Re: White Elk
Obviously not a true albino, though.

Re: White Elk
A true albino would be totally white, with pink nose and eyes. No darker hair on face.

Re: White Elk
I agree with TwoRivers. This is not an albino. Its a colouroid. It does not have the typical pink eyes nor the pink nose like an albino.

Re: White Elk
Hi Guys,
> I once saw a 'White Langur' in the Wynad District (Kerala). A very shy animal. The distance must've been around 150 yds. Although the hair on his body was totally white, the face was very pale brown, as for the eyes, couldn't make out because of the distance.
> A rarity like the White Elk - definitely not an Albino.
Cheers

Re: White Elk
Beautiful. Never seen anything like this. Rare indeed. I wonder how many have been reported earlier?
