Meet Pearl - a rare albino alligator


CHECK
OUT this rare albino alligator who certainly wouldn’t blend into her
surroundings unless there was a thick blanket of snow.

The
stunning pictures and video show the snow-white alligator creep out of
the water and try to snatch a hat after someone teases her by hitting
her on the nose with it.

The seven and a half-foot-long,
105-pound alligator is no slouch and her pink eyes make it hard to see
where she is looking. The incredible images and footage show Pearl, the
resident albino alligator at Gatorland in Orlando.

Pearl
Pearl, a 10-year-old, 105-pound albino gator, has quickly become the star of Florida park Gatorland for her unpigmented skin and startling pinkish-white eyes.
Pearl and the park's other albino gator, Bouya Blan, wouldn't stand much of a chance out in the wild because they can't camouflage with their surroundings. Instead, they're kept in custom shaded housing to protect them from the sun, the Telegraph reports.
And they sure are a hit with parkgoers.
Just to clarify one more time: this is a real alligator. Not fake.

The big daddy gator was strolling through the Circle B Bar Reserve, an area of of protected lands in Polk County.

Alligators are not by any means uncommon in the American South, particularly in Florida, where there about a million of the modern dinosaurs live. Male alligators can grow very large, reaching up to 15 feet and weighing up to 1,000 pounds. Joiner told Florida television station WKMG she believed the one she spotted to be 12 feet long.
