luxtempestas:daily-meme:Melanism Vs. Albinism In The Animal Kingdom.cool but you have a lot of factual errors here:no melanistic lion has ever been documented, that image is shoppedwhite lions are leucistic not albinono melanistic tiger has been documented either, thats also shoppedwhite tigers are not albino, and they aren’t found in the wild either. they are severely inbred by humansthe black panther is actually a textbook example of melanism, but your ‘albino’ jaguars are white lion cubs….your white fox is not alive btw it’s taxidermy, nor is it albino.you have two separate species of dolphin here, the ‘melanistic’ one is a completely normal common dolphin, your ‘albino’ is an amazon river dolphin that is not albino.ironically there have been documented albino bottlenose dolphins which you could have correctly used.i’m not a herpetologist, but i see two separate frogs and i’m willing to bet the melanistic frog is normally coloured for its species and the albino in this image looks shopped. when i looked up both images the only source i found was pinterest so i’m guessing they are both fake.albino alligators exist, but yours is leucisticthe deer is leucisticthe zebra is leucisticthat about covers it to my knowledge. again, albinism is a complete lack of pigmentation, and leucism is partial loss and usually less rare. a white animal with blue eyes is likely leucistic. -- source link
