Albino kangaroo

A rare albino kangaroo, its startlingly white coat standing out in sharp contrast to its grey-coloured companions, has been spotted near Canberra.


According to rangers, the animal is an eastern grey kangaroo, probably female and aged around two years old.


Albinism, which is caused by a genetic mutation, is extremely rare in kangaroos, similar to other species
