Rare mob of white kangaroos spotted in Australia, netizens call them 'gorgeous'
White kangaroo sightings are rare, so after a wildlife sanctuary spotted a mob of them, numerous photos of them have gone viral on Facebook.
The wildlife can truly be spectacular in a lot of ways, especially when you come across animals that are rare to find. Recently, a group of white kangaroos was found in the Panorama Wildlife Sanctuary, a private wildlife sanctuary in Australia's Mornington Peninsula. As spotting white kangaroos is uncommon, several pictures of them have gone viral on Facebook.
According to National Geographic albinism can cause the white colour in animals. it develops when an animal has one or more defective genes from both parents, which prevent the body from producing melanin, the primary pigment responsible for skin, fur, and eye colour.
