• White kangaroos are rare and have gone viral due to albinism.
• Which prevents the body from producing melanin.
• The main pigment responsible for the colour of skin, fur, and eyes.

When you encounter animals that are uncommon to find, the wildlife can be truly spectacular in many ways. Recently, a rare group of white kangaroos were discovered in Australia’s Mornington Peninsula’s Panorama Wildlife Sanctuary, a private wildlife sanctuary. White kangaroo sightings are rare, so numerous photos of them have gone viral on Facebook.

According to National Geographic, albinism may be the reason why some animals are white. It occurs when an animal inherits one or more defective genes from both parents, which stop the body from producing melanin, the main pigment responsible for the colour of the skin, fur, and eyes.

White kangaroos are uncommon, so a few images of them have gone viral.

Panorama Garden Estate posted these images to Facebook. The pictures have received more than 200 likes since being shared. There are many comments on the post as well.
