White Alligator Vs Albino Alligator
By Tasha Boroff
What do you know about the magnificent White Alligator? The white alligators are one of the rarest alligators around. They are restricted to the Southeastern United States. In 1987 in the bayou of southwest New Orleans 18 baby White Alligators were found. The were all taken to a zoo in Louisiana. Out of those 18 only 10 of them have survived. There is not really a whole lot of difference between them and all other alligators. Like all others they live in freshwater, swamps, marshes, rivers, lakes and small bodies of water of the southeastern United States. The only difference is that the color of their skin looks like "White Chocolate". They are sometimes referred to as the "Swamp Ghost".
Believe it or not there are two kinds of white Alligators. You have the White Alligator and the Albino Alligator. These two are very similar, however there are slight differences between them. Albino's have a red or pink eyes where White Alligators have blues eyes. Unlike the White Alligators, Albinos are very weak creatures.
White Alligators are very beautiful to look at, and just as graceful and mesmerizing as all other alligators. Unfortunately the only way to see a white alligator now would be to visit some of the few zoos that have made a home for them. The biggest enemy of the White Alligator believe it or not is the sun. This is due to the fact that they actually have white pigments. Which means their skin is really just white skin.
Legend has it, that those who gaze into the blue eyes of the White Alligator will be blessed with good luck for the coming year and prosperity will surely follow. - TB
