Albino alligator

Knoxville Zoo displays albino alligator (AP)

In this photo released by the Knoxville Zoo, a rare white alligator relaxes in a pool while on temporary exhibit on Monday, May 7, 2007, in Knoxville, Tenn. The 12-year-old American alligator is an albino, meaning she has a lack of pigment and pinkish eyes. She is kept inside because her skin would burn in the sun. (AP Photo/Knoxville Zoo)AP - This white alligator has it made in the shade. Without an alligator's normal dark camouflaging color, the new inhabitant at the Knoxville Zoo would not live long while exposed to predators or the sun.
