The albino crocodile
Los Angeles Zoo is becoming very bustling these days by the arrival of a new member of the zoo - a unique crocodile with white skin.
From birth, veterinarians said, the skin of this crocodile had no pigment, or more accurately, the crocodile was born with albino skin.
Based on Morgan's law of genes, when the recessive genes combine together, it creates albinism in many animals. But the albino phenomenon completely like this crocodile is a very rare phenomenon. It can be said that this is a vivid demonstration of the laws of genetics in nature.
"What makes this crocodile unique is that you are a natural albino crocodile," said zoo director John Lewis .
Appearing at the Los Angeles Zoo as part of this summer ' Get Out of the Mud ' campaign, the crocodile has become the focus of the attention of many children and adults. The little boys and girls who came here seemed very excited when they looked around the lake where the white crocodile was playing in the water.
This crocodile will stay in Los Angeles zoo until September.
