King Louie, the Albino Alligator

Regina Rickert of At Close Range Photography sent us this amazing picture of an albino alligator named King Louie just hangin’ at the Louisville Zoo:

King Louie is a six foot long white alligator. I took this photo of him at the Louisville Zoo this summer. He is an albino American alligator. According to the zoo’s website, he doesn’t move very often or very far. This proved to be true the day I visited him. He never moved once. =)

LinkThanks Regina!

    How do you know he’s fro real if he never moves?

    He probably can’t move much because without green pigment he can’t photosynthesize.

    If he has red eyes he is an albino but if the eyes are blue he is called leucistic and does not have albinism.
