This unusually white raccoon shows how striking genetic pigmentation abnormalities can make a familiar North American animal look almost completely different
A completely white raccoon with pink or reddish eyes can be associated with albinism, a genetic condition involving reduced or absent melanin production. Albinism can affect the pigmentation of the fur, skin and eyes and may also cause visual problems because pigment is important in normal development of the visual system.
