Wow. How cool would that be to have seen that first hand!

Indeed though I doubt its actually albino, there is some pigment, possibly hypomelanistic.
Still awesome, pity they didnt get a closeup of the head so you could see the eyes.

Could just be white.

It's cool that it was spotted in the wild. The California Academy of Science here in the Bay area has one.

It might be a good thing they didn't get close up, Still a beautiful creature.
