Found two extremely rare white crocodiles

Two rare white crocodiles have been found by a fisherman in the Mandalay nature reserve swamp near Houma in Louisiana, USA.

Just one foot long and weighs about 6.35 kg, two white alligators are found in the Louisiana swamp and are now moved to a new home at Audubon, New Orleans, USA.

In essence, these organisms are not suffering from albinism, but suffer from Leucism, the decline of all skin pigments. The albino crocodile is the second organism among the rarest creatures in the world.

Both are under special care before they can join the crocodile herd.

'White crocodiles are famous all over the world and are symbols of our zoo , ' said Sarah proudly. 'Baby crocodiles will be monitored for two months and will stay in their own care area for several years until they are old enough to join older seniors.'

White crocodiles often have very short lifespans in nature, their skin color makes birds or large fish easy to recognize and hunt.
