Pink elephant is caught on camera



In northern Botswana, a wildlife cameraman took pictures of a herd of elephants. He surprised in these pictures because he found a pink baby elephant. "Experts believe it is probably in albino, which is an extremely rare phenomenon in African elephants" Ecologist Dr Mike Chase said " this is the first documented sighting of an albino elephant in northern Botswana." and he said It's difficult to survive in the harsh African bush because the glaring sun may detroy its skin and eyes. If it wants to survive,it'll hide under the large trees in the afternoon.
In my opinion,This found surprise for me and I think it may mistake from genetic of elephant or the world's environment have changed.

Do you surprise in the pink baby elephant? In your opinion,how did it happen?

  1. I think that surprise for me but I don't know why it happened. It may mistake from some DNA or genetic like albinism. It should be take care more than others. The ecologist or biologist should research and preserve from it.

  2. I am suprised at it because I have ever looked pink animals, not white. It could happened mutation evolution although I have little knowledge of biology. I am anxcious about the elepant because it is quite different from other elepant. It is outstanding, so it will be targeted by carnivorous animals.

  4. It's so strange, and I think the reason is mistake in ADN form the parent elephant. Maybe when this baby grows up it will be change.

  5. I think, it's not very surprise for me. if we compare the human baby and elephant baby when the mother to give the birth to babies. we can see baby is pink colour, but when the baby grew up, why they change the colour of skin ? so, i think, when elephant's baby grow up maybe it can be chang, too.

  7. I feel that 's varities generation. I mean that can born different parent because DNA weak gene. I think an albino elephant in northern Botswana has short live expectancy It looks like spicial children who born different parent.
