The ghostly gator might look like an albino to the average tourist, but in reality, it is an even rarer form of reptile known as a leucistic alligator.

Unlike albinism, which is marked by a lack of the pigment melanin, leucism is caused by defects in specific pigment-producing cells.

This means that leucistic alligators are not pale yellow with pink eyes. They are more like reptilian White Walkers with the occasional patch of typical-colored scales here and there.
