Albinos are found in all animal species; albinoism is due to a pair of recessive characteristics or 'genes' that acting together create a situation where the body is not able to from the necessary materials in the skin, hair and ever in the iris in the eyes to form the necessary colour pigmentation. This results causes the hair and skin to be white and the eyes to seem to be red as the blood vessels at the back of the eye can be seen. due to the colourless, clear iris allowing light through to the back of the eye.

Photo: the evening after a rain shower and a thunderstorm through the leaves - i.e. the sight of the area which is the background of that picture - that is our sight out of the kitchen window :) however - to the picture: she is a woman i really like - similar to that woman my dad was picking to be my name bearer - the first wife of Perry Rhodan in that book dad read - she was some kind of an albino - and had white hair :) the shifting fm color to "white" - in German white = weiss - now "weiss" is almost pronounced like wise - just with a stronger "s" - you see - (on my opinion) the word play already is "fascinating" and so she is... the contrast is a bit awkward - yet - the sun had to be in her hands...

Blue lobsters are very, very rare. It has been debated but most scientists say that the blue colored lobsters are that way for the same reason that there are albino people (lack of a gene).

I was just about asleep last night when I heard a large THUD on my pillow like something fell on it. I didn't have my glasses on and it was dark so I couldnt see what it was. All I saw was this dark oval shape and thought "fucking great I have a large ass cockroach on my pillow and I will never be able to sleep there again".
