Wholesale White Alligator - 291929

A white alligator can either be albino or leucistic. The difference between the two is that albinism is the complete lack of the pigment melanin, whereas leucism is the result of lacking melanin in certain parts of the body. An albino alligator will have pink eyes, whereas one with leucism will have blue eyes. 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: To give you an idea of just how rare white alligators are, it's estimated that there are only 12 leucistic American alligators out of a population of over 5 million. 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Alligator mississippiensis. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: White alligators are exceptionally rare, especially in the wild where they're susceptible to predators while they're young due to their lack of camouflage. 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞: 6" long and 3.25" wide, this white alligator toy model is a bit shorter and wider than a 16 oz. water bottle resting on its side.
