Albino African Penguin?

There was only ever one albino gorilla but they're included. And I don't think there's ever been an albino bonobo IRL.
Kokosanka is famous.
I had an African penguin born that says "Brown mutation". I'm assuming that's the equivalent?
Got it saved in my Storage Center until I'm lucky enough to find a mate for it. (I know, not great in real life. But I enjoy breeding all the various combinations in the game).

I don't own the DLC myself yet but I know that there are either Albino or leucistic Babirusas. But Frontier sadly did a bad Job with them. They look like Statues.
I wish they would bring some kind of King Penguin Mutation. There are so many Possibilities for different looking white King Penguins. A melanistic Variation does also exist in Real Life
Can we see a pic?
And also whoever has a pic of the albino African penguin, can y'all send a pic?
There's a guide on Steam of animal color mutations, maybe whoever has it can send them their images?
That was just a bug where some animals were appearing solid white for no reason. It wasn't a genetic trait that could be passed to offspring. And either way it's fixed now.
Thanks for the Information. Would be nice if they would really add it
White Giraffes are incredibly rare, even in zoos, as are most of the other leucistic and albino critters, so that's not necessarily the rationale. I wonder if they are excluding the albino variants lately because it's not entirely realistic for zoos which emphasize education and conservation to be breeding them en masse like Seigfried and Roy did. A zoo would never use an albino animal in a reintroduction program, certainly.
I think it would be cool to see some of the other genetic variants that don't affect the animals' health or survivability in the wild as much as albinism does (most albinism subtypes have a negative effect on vision, for instance, as well as rendering the animals vulnerable to predation and skin cancer).
They included spotless cheetahs in the game, for instance. I'd like to see the blotched (pseudomelanistic) pattern show up occasionally too. There are other species besides jaguars that have melanistic and pseudo melanistic forms as well. King penguins without the typical white breast have occasionally been seen, as have pseudomelanistic zebras whose stripes are so wide they appear mostly black.
The thing about rare variants in PZ, though, is we speed up time (and the reproduction rate) so much that something that is incredibly rare in real life, even in zoos, quickly becomes common in game when many players select for it.
