Wild Turkeys, including a leucistic female (this coloration occurs in approx. 1/100,000 per Audubon).
photos by me, 2024-03-25. A cloudy day at Cornelia Fort Airpark, so I will try another day when the lighting conditions are better, hoping that the leucistic bird is still around.

Fuck I just realized, now that the final chapter of @mrghostrat's fic In The Room Where You Sleep is out, I can finally post this!
I knew about hognose Azi a long time ago, but held onto this because it was technically a spoiler. And now I can post him, Hurrah!!
He's based on a leucistic hoggie, which notably don't have blue eyes heh

真っ白なコバンザメがいた。目は黒いのでリューシスティックでいいんでしょうか。

There was an all-white sharksucker. I think it might be leucistic because its eyes are black.

an almost solid white bald eagle was spotted and photographed by a college student in oklahoma. originally mistaken as an albino specimen, this bird is leucistic, a similar genetic condition. leucism occurs when a lack of melanin is found in parts of or through the entire body. in albinism, all pigments are absent, leading to pink skin and eyes in most cases. leucism can still make life harder for birds, as melanin is an important component in both the structure of the eye’s iris and in feather composition. leucistic birds often struggle with weak and brittle feathers and poor vision as a result.

Welcome home, little Orochimaru!
If I had to describe perfection among snakes - that'd be it.
After years of snakeless limbo, I'm coming back with more energy than ever. After months of hunting, finally got my hands on him - a pure white (well, more like light pink right now, this little guy is not even 1.5 month old yet, the youngest I managed to grab from another breeder in my career), completely spotless Super Fire ball python (Python regius).
Until this very day I'd claim blue eyed leucistic snakes are my jam... This changed the second I saw this guy's black eyes with RUBY pupils that look like they're glowing in direct light. Absolutely unreal in person!
Having big hopes for this boy in the future! ❤️🔥
