It lacks pigmentation, hence the pinkish glow on its skin and in the eyes.<BR/><BR/>Albinos exist in most species, including humans. Its a genetic defect that leaves the afflicted animal or human vulnerable to the radiation of the sun. There's nothing funny about being an albino.<BR/><BR/>BeastBEAST FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679628160308289045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324441.post-89777980416549094262007-09-19T07:06:00.000-06:002007-09-19T07:06:00.000-06:00>>lol - the "Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU)" is an a...>>lol - the "Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU)" is an atheist attempt to disprove God.<<<BR/><BR/>I knew - I'd just read the article.

If it's invisible you can't see the color. :-)<BR/><BR/>I saw these pictures today - thought they were great! :-)<BR/><BR/>Also, my rss feed must be messing up because I didn't realize anything had been posted since last week. Good thing I checked and came back to see all the spiritual stuff you're posting, you know, about pretty pink dolphins and such. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
