This animal has a very short life span in front of him being an albino. Predators will find him easy to get.He will be very visable in a Jungle.

Humans with Albinism often have very poor vision. Wonder how they did an eye exam on an orangutan?

“100 feet up in the trees?....................”

Predators climb trees.Whether they’re Cats or other Great Apes.

Even Chimps will kill other members of their species when they get hungry.

Yeah.

Pack animals are not nice to those who are different. Conformity is the name of the game. Flocks are even worse.

Depends on what you mean by "social". It is a female.

Females tend to live in overlapping ranges around a dominate male.

She will have to interact with the male and several of his females.

Blue eyes?

"Most kids with albinism have blue eyes, and others have brownish eyes. In some cases of albinism, a kid's eyes might appear pink or reddish. This isn't because the iris (the colored part of the eye) is pink or red. It's because the iris actually has very little color."
