Colombia confirmed the first case of an albino ocelot, after carrying out genetic tests on a feline with white fur and red eyes.
The ocelot was found as a kitten, weighing just 440 grams, in the rural zone of Amalfi and was first thought to be a puma jaguarundi.
Medellin's Conservation Park undertook genetic testing on the animal, concluding it was actually a leopardus pardalis, a native species of ocelot that is found all across the Americas.
Could Tumblr show me less of Astarion or whoever and show me more of Raiden from Metal Gear, I know my priorities when it comes to white haired men now where is my daily dose of Raiden posing like a sopping wet dog while covered in blood.

The Pink-Eyed Beauty
carte de visite, 4 x 2.5 inches, circa 1884
photographer: Chas. Eisenmann, 229 Bowery, New York
Due to their strange appearance, albinos were frequently featured in the sideshow. This young albino girl sits with a book in her lap and upon something that looks like a haystack, or perhaps a faux grassy hillock.
This must have been taken during one of Charles Eisenmann’s pastoral phases. This same prop appears in other photographs taken by Eisenmann around 1884 — where it usually appears on the floor in an attempt at a rustic motif — so that is my best guess as to the date of this portrait.
