An Australian woman couldn’t believe her eyes when she found a white kangaroo in rural Queensland. Sarah Kinnon, a Nogo Station resident, noticed the kangaroo and managed to take a few shots of the unusual animal. White kangaroos are exceedingly rare, with about one in every 50,000 to 100,000 individuals seeing one.
“I was just out with my husband, we were putting some rams back to the pasture, and there was a white kangaroo,” she told the journalists.
“That was very astonishing to see it,” she said, “you could place a white sheet of paper next to it and it would be white.” It completely astounded me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was all a bit hurried actually, we didn’t see him for long,” she continued. I just handed my kid over to my husband, grabbed my camera, and that was about it.”
“Have you ever come across an ALBINO KANGAROO in the bush?” read the caption on a Facebook group named Outback Pioneers. Sarah Kinnon discovered this uncommon and gorgeous marsupial at Nogo Station yesterday. Sarah was lucky enough to get a few of short shots of him before he bolted across the pasture. So, if you see an albino roo out in the woods, let us know.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the media, Paul Oliver, Curator of Vertebrates at the Queensland Museum, believes the ‘creature’ saw in Longreach was a leucistic kangaroo, not an albino. “Just glancing at the photo, it appears to have dark eyes,” he told the reporters. “It’s impossible to tell for sure, but that means it’s not an albino.” You can have genuine albino, in which case you should search for pink eyes, or you can have a mutation called leucism, in which case you should look for black eyes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
