Scientifically, animals with albinism have next to zero survival chances in the wild because they cannot camouflage from predators like their colleagues.

They also suffer isolation by other who it is said consider the as strangers.

The above Giraffe may however survive for long considering it lives within a conservancy where the environment is mostly controlled to increase the lifespan of endangered animals species
