While on Bruny Island, I learned that their white Wallabies are not Albino as it's not a recessive gene (I had done a beer tasting for breakfast - because I'm classy - so feel free to correct me if I've mixed that up.)
I'm not sure if the same goes for these animals - at the time I thought they were Albino Kangaroos but can't remember if I read it or just decided it.
Hmmm, they look a bit sickly those whiteys... Albinos have red eyes because of lack of melanin in the irises (as well as lack of melanin in the rest of the body). White-coloured animals have normal coloured eyes (because of normal melanin in irises, but little melanin elsewhere in the body).
Hello, They are adorable critters. The little white wallaby is a cutie. wonderful photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy new week! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

ReplyDeleteGood to know.So these are Albino kangaroos. (What I don't know about animals could fill a book!)

ReplyDeleteI think albino animals have pink eyes and these wallabies seem to have pink eyes. They are very unusual!
