Mutations

Piebald ball pythons look really cool

 

Here's a very interesting looking mutation that I have just seen being reported on - a leucistic nurse shark in the Turks and Caicos Islands. In this species, leucism often results in heavy spotting on a mostly white body.

This article released today includes what are probably the first high-quality camera trap photographs taken of a black leopard in Africa. The photographs were taken at Laikipia in Kenya - quite surprising as looking at photographs of the area it appears to be a fairly open savannah habitat rather than the deep rainforest that melanistic leopards normally inhabit.

The photographs and the story of how they were taken is included below:

Several media outlets are reporting this white (leucistic) grizzly bear in Canada. Apparently authorities have known of it for three years but kept it a secret until a member of the public recently filmed it and posted it on social media.
