 Okay, it's not really albino, but it's a real white alligator. It is in the Palm Beach Zoo, rescued as a baby.

White alligators cannot survive in the wild, because they have no camouflage protection and are eaten almost as soon as they are born. And this adult could not survive, because it has no pigment and would sustain severe burns from sun exposure, which alligators need to maintain their body temperature.
