The photos and a video of a seven foot albino alligator with skin so bright she truly lives up to her name, as well as her pink eyes, has amazed many.

Pearl, an albino alligator, has been caught on tape emerging out of the water in her enclosure in Florida
An extraordinary video footage which emerged online and is making rounds on social media, shows a snow-white alligator creep out of the water and try to snatch a hat after a keeper teases her by hitting her on the nose with it.
 
According to Dailymail, Pearl - an albino alligator with skin so bright, is seven and a half-foot-long, 105lb alligator, and her pink eyes make it hard to see where she is looking at any one time.
 
Pearl is the resident albino alligator at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida.
 
 
A spokesman for the park, said: 'Pearl is ten years old. She arrived at Gatorland when she was three years old. 
 
'Pearl is an albino alligator, due to the complete absence of pigmentation, which gives her white skin and pink eyes. Visitors to the park like to come and see a rare albino alligator like Pearl.'
 
The 100-acre theme park, which has been open since 1949, is also home to 'leucistic' alligators, which are alligators that have dark eyes but also lack pigmentation in their skin.
 
Only around three in every million alligators are born with this genetic default.
