Australia has a lush supply of regular kangaroos, but the albinos among the species are quite a rarity.

On January 31st, Rosemary Faehrmann was driving with her husband in South Australia when she spotted one of the fair creatures.

She did what any human of sound mind would do –- jumped out of the car immediately and snapped a picture.

Faehrmann told GeoBeats of the experience, "The kangaroo jumped along the fenceline towards us, then stopped for a look –- which is when I took a couple of photos. It then continued on its way. There were lots of normal, grey kangaroos in the area at the time too."

The photo made its way to Facebook, where it has become an instant sensation.

I can see that stick of dynamite it is carrying ready to do that deed of blowing up the internet.

Do the Aborigines believe the 'roo is sacred?

Its the Great White Kangaroo, not to be confused with the antarctic or polar kangaroo.

Woolworths in Cristies Beach, South Australia, about 20 miles south of Adelaide carried roo meat, tastes like top grade beef, no fat.

Amazon has it. And I thought beef was expensive.

[Moltke]

Not the white, feathery kind though. Those are the distaff chickeny relatives. ;-)

My point was the photo looks fake. There probably are white “roos,” but this is not the best photo to demonstrate it.
