00:00 [music]
00:02 Everything that deviates from the norm is always looked at with greater attention.
00:06 An animal that does not have the usual color or size of its kind
00:10 immediately stands out and people want to know why the animal is different.
00:13 Have you ever seen a pink elephant?
00:16 What about a green iguana that is white?
00:19 If you want to see unique animals, you are right here.
00:23 Because we count 15 unique animals
00:26 of which you will not believe that they exist.
00:28 [laughter]
00:30 [speaking in German]
00:34 Number 15 - Pfau
00:36 The Pfau is an incredibly beautiful bird.
00:39 Never before has a bird had a greater right to show its opulence.
00:44 With its luminous colors and its unusually shaped feathers,
00:47 the Pfau is a true eye-catcher.
00:50 This bird shows off its splendor and its plump feathers.
00:53 As far as attractiveness is concerned, the white Pfau is simply stunning.
00:57 It has almost identical feathers and a similar look to its colorful siblings.
01:03 With the difference that its feathers are white.
01:05 The white Pfau shows off its feathers by fanning its white tail
01:10 and presents such a cloud of white splendor.
01:13 The completely white color of the Pfau is a feature of beauty in a kind of magnificent birds.
01:19 Almost every animal can discover a white shape,
01:22 but the white Pfau is not an albino.
01:24 Pfaus are Pfaus and the white Pfau is no exception.
01:28 It is not a Pfau species, but a unique Pfau
01:32 that was born with completely white feathers due to its genetic mutation.
01:36 Pfaus that are white are not albinos.
01:39 Albino animals have no color and have red or pink eyes, as well as a very pale skin.
01:44 Pfaus with blue eyes and pigmented skin are white.
01:48 Leucism is a pigmentation disorder caused by a genetic mutation.
01:53 Leucism leads to the fact that the animals retain their normal eye color.
01:57 The feathers are the ones that are not pigmented.
01:59 Which genes are dominant and which are recessive determines the color of the white feathers.
02:04 Pfaus that are white do not occur in the wild.
02:07 The Pfaus would be more noticeable for many predators if they had white spots.
02:11 It is assumed that the recessive genes for the white coloring of the animals are created,
02:15 which are kept in captivity.
02:17 So the theory.
02:18 This can happen with pets like birds or other animals.
02:22 The existence of white Pfaus is explained by this gene mutation.
02:26 Number 14 Koala
02:28 Among several predators that were born in an Australian zoo in recent months,
02:33 a koala stands out.
02:35 The female koala is a rare white young animal that has no name yet.
02:40 The light skin of the koala is most likely due to a recessive gene
02:44 that he got from his mother and not due to albinism.
02:47 Experts suspect that such a koala would hardly survive in the wild.
02:52 The "Silverwing gene", as it is called in veterinary medicine,
02:56 causes that animals are born with white or very pale hair,
03:00 that gradually fades and the typical adult color appears.
03:04 Similar to baby teeth.
03:05 In more than 20 years in which koalas were examined in the wild,
03:09 experts had never seen a white koala.
03:13 Since koalas have predators such as eagles and owls,
03:15 one would decide against them in the wild
03:17 and the biggest difficulty would be that such a white animal does not have much camouflage.
03:22 Snowflakes, diamonds, pearls and djendaladi,
03:26 which means "white-haired" in the indigenous Nongar language,
03:29 are among the previously suggested names for the animal.
03:32 Number 13 Reindeer and Deer
03:35 The chances of seeing an albino deer in the wild are different.
03:40 The probability that you will see one in the wild is 1 in 30,000.
03:45 White reindeer, also known as leucistic deer,
03:49 are rare and make up less than 1% of the deer population.
03:53 Leucistic deer, unlike albino deer,
03:56 do not have pink eyes and noses,
03:58 which are a common feature of albinos.
04:01 You are in your neighborhood when you discover a lonely white-tailed deer in your field.
04:06 You have not seen this deer for a long time,
04:08 but lately you see them more and more often.
04:11 Then your attention is directed to a white flash,
04:14 a deer that is white.
04:16 You stand still and admire this magnificent animal.
04:19 It seems rare and valuable, but what is it exactly?
04:22 It turns out that white deer have been attracting mankind for centuries,
04:26 if not millennia.
04:29 For as long as the ghostly appearance of these animals has caused myths, superstitions
04:34 and widespread scientific misunderstanding.
04:38 These misunderstandings still exist today.
04:40 Since white-tailed deer are increasingly common near cities,
04:44 it is only natural that more and more people tell their own stories about these strange beasts.
04:50 The body of a leucistic animal is completely or partially colorless.
04:54 Leucistic deer are available in different shades of white.
04:57 Some have white spots, others are half brown and half white,
05:01 and others are almost completely white.
05:04 Pied deer are animals with a mixture of brown and white fur.
05:08 Believe it or not, there are white cranes.
05:14 Some are white with dark eyes and are called leucistic cranes.
05:19 Others are white with pink eyes and are albino cranes.
05:22 Albinism is a condition characterized by a lack of melanin.
05:26 Melanin is a pigment that occurs in the skin
05:29 and the skin gives the feathers, the hair and the eyes the color.
05:33 Leucism is a partial loss of pigmentation,
05:36 which causes the skin, the hair or the feathers of the animal to be white or patchy.
05:42 In our first video, this white deer is leucistic.
05:45 You can see that she is white, but her eyes are dark,
05:48 while the deer in our next video has very pink eyes, which makes her an albino.
05:54 The next deer on a woman's arm is called Polaris
05:57 and is an albino deer that lives in the port of St. Ives in Great Britain.
06:02 This deer seems to be quite friendly.
06:04 The deer in the next video was seen in the foregarden of this family.
06:08 Over about three months, she was part of a larger group of cranes in the neighborhood.
06:13 Apart from her coloring, all her behaviors, such as eating,
06:17 squeaking and being with other cranes were identical to those in a normal deer.
06:22 This white deer likes water just as much as other cranes
06:26 and has a lot of fun in the sink, where she sprays as much water as possible everywhere.
06:32 Number 11 - Horse
06:34 The Camarillo White Horse is a breed of horses
06:37 that was born in the United States of America in the 19th century
06:41 and is known for its beautiful white fur and its brave movements.
06:45 This horse has gained a lot of popularity over the years and is a popular parade animal.
06:51 Adolfo Camarillo, a breeder, bought a 10-year-old Spanish Mustang horse
06:56 in Sacramento, California, named Sultan for $500.
07:02 Sultan had to mate with Morgan Stute on the Camarillo Ranch in California
07:07 to keep his harmless white fur.
07:10 Morgan horses were very popular as ranch horses at the time,
07:13 which is why Adolfo chose this breed for mating with his stute.
07:17 Camarillo died in 1958 and breeding was continued until then.
07:22 Sultan founded a new line of horses and continued his color genetics.
07:26 Shortly after Adolfo's death, his daughter Carmen took over the reins
07:30 and continued breeding by regularly leading the horses.
07:34 Carmen died in 1987 and the horses were sold at a public auction according to her will.
07:40 Unfortunately, the new breed was about to die out shortly after the sale
07:43 and in 1991 there were only a few hundred copies left.
07:47 In response to this serious problem, the Camarillo White Horse Association was founded in 1992,
07:54 whose goal is to protect the remaining animals.
07:57 The Camarillo Whites are currently being cared for by private breeders in Ventura County.
08:02 The breeders volunteer for the retention of the horses
08:05 and take them regularly to horse events and parades.
08:09 In this video, it is not a Camarillo White.
08:12 It is a pink albino horse that lives in Pakistan.
08:15 You can see the pinkish tones that mix with the white color of the horse.
08:20 In our next video is Maraja, a white Marwari horse with extraordinary bloodlines.
08:26 This muscular horse has a high neck and is up to 64.5 cm tall.
08:32 His ears are small and his face profile is straight.
08:35 The white fur of this horse is breathtaking.
08:38 Finally, a Cremello horse runs side by side with this postcarch.
08:43 The Cremello horse has a creamy color without markings
08:46 and a white mane and a white tail,
08:49 which gives it an unusual and magnificent appearance.
08:52 Cremello horses have blue eyes and pink skin, among other things.
08:56 They look almost as if they came from a fairy tale, don't they?
09:00 Number 10 Pink Elephant
09:02 When people talk about pink elephants,
09:05 they usually mean alcohol-induced hallucinations.
09:08 The term was coined by Jack London in one of his books,
09:11 but pink elephants really exist.
09:14 Especially when they are young calves, as you can see in this video.
09:18 In South Africa, this pink elephant was observed.
09:21 It is assumed that the calf is an albino,
09:23 which is quite unusual for African elephants.
09:26 In the Kruger National Park, the baby was seen together with his mother.
09:30 You can see the difference in color to the other elephants.
09:33 It's not completely pink, but you can see the pink behind his ears.
09:38 In this video, the pink elephant tries to make a little nigger in his new bed.
09:42 But he seems to have trouble sleeping,
09:44 because he keeps rolling back and forth.
09:47 Maybe he dreams that he sees pink elephants running around.
09:50 These huge elephants, which make this incredible elephant run,
09:54 seem to be pink.
09:56 Is this their natural color or were they painted?
09:59 For me it definitely looks like their natural color.
10:03 Finally, this albino elephant likes to spend his time in the thicket of the rough foliage.
10:08 I wonder what the green stuff on his skin is.
10:11 Number 9 - Eagle
10:13 Eagles are loved by humans for a simple reason.
10:16 They are cute.
10:18 Because of the spines that cover their backs,
10:20 these animals were never as cuddly as cats or dogs,
10:23 but they always have a special place in our hearts.
10:26 But what about Mr. Twinkle, an albino eagle?
10:30 Only one in 100,000 eagles is born with the recessive gene.
10:34 What does it mean that his skin, his eyes and his spines lack melanin pigment?
10:39 It is assumed that there are only 100 of them in the United Kingdom.
10:44 Mr. Twinkle was rescued and was initially thin and weak,
10:47 but since he arrived in a local zoo,
10:50 he has grown in size and strength.
10:52 Some argue that albino eagles should not be released into the wild after care,
10:57 because they are more noticeable to predators due to their bright white color.
11:01 The truth is that they are not hunted as often as normal eagles,
11:05 because they quickly get dirty.
11:06 Mr. Twinkle is proof that they are fine in nature.
11:10 In the world of eagles, they are clearly a force to reckon with.
11:14 As if that weren't enough, the zoo didn't dare to look
11:18 when a second albino eagle was rescued and put into their care.
11:22 Jericho, who was only a few weeks old when he was discovered,
11:25 was full of ticks, but he is doing well now.
11:28 8. Elk
11:31 The white elk is a beautiful animal that can be seen in parts of Canada and Sweden.
11:36 The white color could be a result of natural selection,
11:39 because surprised hunters prefer to leave the white elk alone,
11:42 which increases their number.
11:44 The human is the only natural predator of the elk in Sweden.
11:47 A rare white elk was illegally shot in northern Ontario
11:51 and caused outrage among the First Nations, who see the animal as culturally significant.
11:56 A breathtaking white elk was spotted in the Swedish forests near the Norwegian border.
12:02 As you can see in this video, the wildlife photographer and Nikon ambassador
12:06 Roger Buentagen was lucky enough to catch this unique creature in their natural habitat.
12:12 In the next video you will see two beautiful white calves
12:16 that go for a walk with their mother, even if they are not completely white.
12:19 I suspect that they were adopted.
12:21 If you consider how unusual it is to encounter an albino elk,
12:25 how would you feel if someone attacked your lawnmower?
12:28 This house owner believes that the elk was drunk after eating rotten apples on the foot of the tree.
12:34 One more word about caution when drinking.
12:36 If you drink, it can happen that you attack any lawnmower.
12:40 After all, the white albino elk enjoys fresh food in the early morning.
12:44 7. Owls
12:46 Albinos are usually gray or brown,
12:50 but this bird lacks melanin to develop color due to albinism.
12:54 That's why this albino albino has white fur.
12:57 As you can see in this video, the glowing red eyes,
13:01 which are usually yellow in albinos, are from blood vessels.
13:05 In this next video, this white owl has dark eyes, but it is still very white.
13:10 The other owl is even more beautiful with its mixture of white fur and copper-golden feathers on its head.
13:15 Wow, a white albino owl or another bird is not a rarity despite its rarity.
13:22 The white feather is caused by albinism,
13:25 a series of genetic diseases in which the pigment melanin in the bird's feather is only insufficient or not produced at all.
13:32 In this video you can see how majestic this bird sits on the tree.
13:36 6. Rhinoceros
13:38 There are only two northern rhinoceros on the world.
13:42 These magnificent animals are threatened to extinct due to loss of habitat, war and wildlife because of their valuable horns.
13:49 The problem is that the two remaining rhinos are both female.
13:53 This did not stop experts from using them for the preservation of the species
13:58 and they have developed an unusual plan for this.
14:00 They came up with an unusual plan.
14:03 They use the carefully preserved sperm from male northern rhinoceros
14:08 that died before they could reproduce.
14:11 They had collected it to artificially fertilize female rhinos, especially southern rhinoceros.
14:17 Rhinoceros are divided into two subspecies in Africa.
14:21 The almost extinct northern rhinoceros and the more common southern rhinoceros.
14:27 These fertilization attempts were unsuccessful,
14:30 so they tried to create an embryo in the laboratory,
14:33 i.e. an egg cell fertilized with sperm.
14:36 This resulted in another obstacle.
14:38 The production of the egg cell. With the first delivery of egg cells in August 2019,
14:43 they were able to produce two embryos.
14:45 And with the second delivery, four months later, they managed to produce another embryo.
14:50 They are currently being kept in a laboratory.
14:53 These embryos need a uterus to develop,
14:56 but none of the female northern rhinos is suitable for this.
15:00 I suspect that the scientists are still working on a solution and hope that it will be available soon.
15:06 Number 5 - Whale
15:08 Migalo is the most famous whale in Australia.
15:11 When it was discovered, it was the only completely white whale in the world.
15:15 Its unique, completely white color allows humans to report sightings
15:20 when it moves along the east coast of Australia from the Antarctic to the milder seas of tropical North Queensland.
15:26 In this next video, whale watchers were thrilled when they saw a rare white orca off the south coast of Alaska.
15:34 Scientists believe that there are only about five of this species in the world.
15:38 There is not much information about them because there are so few of them.
15:41 According to researchers, white orcas are not albinos, but have leucism,
15:46 a disease that leads to partial loss of pigmentation,
15:49 which is shown in a white, pale or patchy color of skin, hair, feathers or scales, but not in the eyes.
15:56 "Tlug", a word of the native for "moon", was given to the orca.
16:01 It is estimated to be about two years old.
16:04 According to scientists, white sword whales are disadvantaged in hunting
16:07 because they are visible through their white light when they sneak up on the prey.
16:11 The fact that this orca seems to be in good health and has been accepted by its group is a positive sign.
16:18 In the annual gray whale count of the National Commission for Nature Conservation in Mexico,
16:23 this unusual albino gray whale was discovered off the coast of Baja California.
16:28 When it was only a calf, it was discovered during the hatching in 2008 and 2009.
16:33 Number 4 - Green iguanas
16:35 The basic color of green iguanas is green,
16:38 but it can range from a strong green to a weak blue-grey.
16:42 Due to genetic differences, there are iguanas in different colors.
16:46 Some are browner than others and some are almost turquoise blue.
16:50 Recently, albino iguanas have also been bred in captivity.
16:54 The head of a South American green iguana has a reddish color.
16:58 In this first video, this iguana is white with a slight green and pink hue.
17:03 Its eyes are orange-red, so it is possible that it is an albino.
17:07 The next iguana is definitely an albino.
17:10 Look at this albino iguana.
17:12 It is yellowish and has a white head.
17:14 He really likes this color.
17:16 In this video, this iguana is rustic orange.
17:20 It is an 8-year-old albino iguana from Colombia,
17:23 which was crossed with a green iguana that is 100% albino.
17:27 I like this look.
17:29 I think all these iguanas look cool and unique.
17:32 And I'm sure that iguana owners are looking for these iguanas
17:36 because they differ from the typical green iguanas.
17:40 Number 3 - Cacalacan
17:43 Are there actually albino cacalacan?
17:45 Scabies, which are often confused with albino scabies,
17:49 are actually freshly shed scabies.
17:52 When a scab from its cuticle, which protects it from the elements, grows out,
17:56 it breaks it open and loses it.
17:58 The white skin underneath seems to be tender.
18:01 Is that true or is there more behind this story?
18:04 Well, as this scab looks in the next video,
18:06 there actually seem to be albino scabies.
18:09 I mean, this scab is white and looks pretty healthy.
18:12 However, the fact is that a white scab recently shed its skin
18:16 or its exoskeleton, which made it an albino scab.
18:21 Scabies have an incomplete metamorphosis
18:23 and have to lose their protective exoskeleton to mature and grow.
18:27 Every time the exoskeleton is thrown away,
18:30 a scab gets a new white exoskeleton,
18:33 which eventually turns brown, as it happens in nature.
18:36 The albino scab is still a kind of scab.
18:39 Number 2 - Tapir
18:42 Rumors are usually just rumors.
18:45 But the stories about a pure white tapir
18:48 were circulating among the inhabitants of a protected area in the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil
18:52 and prompted the photographer Luciano Candizani
18:55 to become active in the National Geographic.
18:58 Albinism is extremely unusual in the wild,
19:01 because the features, like a poor eyesight and a lack of camouflage,
19:04 make the animal disadvantaged.
19:06 That's why Candizani was curious whether the rumors were true.
19:09 Tapirs like to look like a strange cross between ants and a pig.
19:13 But these plant predators are actually close ancestors to rhinos and horses.
19:18 The thick and beak-like claw that comes from the upper lip and nose
19:22 is one of the most remarkable features of the animal.
19:25 It is used to grab branches and to peel them off,
19:28 as well as to harvest fruit.
19:30 Candizani decided to set up a camera trap,
19:33 which automatically captures every animal.
19:35 And so we have now the first photos and videos of the wild albino tapir.
19:40 When Candizani looked at the pictures of the night,
19:43 his heart stopped when the white tapir
19:46 appeared in one of the pictures like out of nowhere.
19:48 That must be a really wonderful experience.
19:52 Number 1 - Waschbär
19:54 Waschbeeren are very popular in North America.
19:57 They are even so popular that they were documented in pictures and films,
20:00 some of which even went viral.
20:02 However, there is a type of waschbeeren that is quite rare.
20:06 The albino waschbeer.
20:07 In this video, a family discovers a nest of four newborn waschbeeren in a house in Toronto,
20:13 of which three were albinos.
20:15 That's a unique find.
20:17 Albino waschbeeren are rare.
20:19 Only one in 500,000 is born and having three in one throw is extremely rare.
20:24 Albino waschbeeren lose their characteristic black-grey color due to a genetic anomaly,
20:30 including the bandit stripe above their eyes.
20:33 They have the same color down to their toes.
20:36 Because they are so rare, many people have never seen one.
20:39 So if you come across a waschbeeren with a completely white or broken white fur,
20:43 treat it just like any other waschbeeren.
20:46 Even if many people value individuality,
20:49 albino waschbeeren are at higher risk because this reduces their chances of survival.
20:55 The color of the albino waschbeeren's fur makes them noticeable.
20:58 Predators can easily see what reduces their chances of survival.
21:02 Some of the animals we just saw are not from this world.
21:05 My favorite is the white owl with the copper-colored feathers and head.
21:10 Which was your favorite animal?
