Theme park only park to successfully breed albino reptiles

KENANSVILLE, Fla. – Wild Florida is living up to its alligator hatching success with the arrival of a new rare albino gator.

“This is our third year in a row of babies and Wild Florida remains the only park on the planet that has successfully bred albino alligators,” Wild Florida co-owner Sam Haught said in a statement.

Leaders said the hatchling is very healthy and will stay in protective care for a few weeks before being introduced to an exhibit.

Guests can see some of the other baby albino alligators and their superstar parents on display in areas of the park.

Fun fact: In humans both parents have to be carriers of the gene that causes albinism. Then its a 1 in 4 chance of children being born with albinism. My wife and her sister both hit those odds.

I went to school with an albino black guy.

His older brother was only partial, their sister was totally normal...............
