A rare albino gazelle captured on camera in Kazakhstan

NUR-SULTAN. KAZINFORM Inspectors of the Charyn national park caught on camera a rare albino gazelle, the press secretary of the forestry and wildlife committee of the Kazakh Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources Ministry Saken Dildakhmet said.

A white gazelle is running across the field of the national park, it seems like a fairy-tale gazelle. The albino gazelle is rarely seen in nature. Gazelle is red-listed in Kazakhstan.

Albino animals often struggle to survive in the wild. The lack of melanin in the animals’ bodies causes a fair amount of hardship for these pigment-challenged creatures. Their whiteness makes them targets for predators.
