Original: Biologist Spots Ultra-Rare Albino Caribou In Alaska… The First Recorded Sighting In Decades
A biologist in Alaska has reported the first recorded sighting in decades of an albino caribou, an extremely rare color variant of the species. The animal was spotted alive in the wild, and the sighting is considered notable because albino caribou have gone essentially undocumented for many years. Observers say the find offers a rare glimpse of a genetic anomaly in a large Arctic mammal.
Why now: The sighting is the first recorded in decades of an ultra-rare animal, making it a remarkable wildlife story.
