Albinos exist in virtually every species on earth-insects, birds, fish, and mammals-even humans. Discover more about these intriguing animals through vivid photography and interesting information about the special challenges these animals face in order to survive. Albinism is a genetic condition that exists in virtually every species on earth: fish, insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and humans. Each species is represented in the book, along with eye-catching photography.
