Is this an albino?

Kodarino · Nov 14, 2019

Hello!
My hippo just popped this beauty out... but doesn't quite look albino or leutistic, more like it has vitiligo. What do you think?
Very happy, my first "rare"!
Picture here, I think picture was too big to upload

I don't know, but it looks awesome! How did you achieve this color type? Was it a random mutation or did you inbreed your hippos?

It's a leucistic Hippopotamus

Completely random!

That is adorable - stop making me want to breed hippos! Can you get us an image of their portrait once they grow up? Curious if it's different to the normal portrait.

It should be different. At least all other Color-Mutations I've seen in the Game, have a own Picture

You'd assume so. I couldn't see any to buy on the market, so I'm curious what it looks like.

Congrats!
It might seem like it hat vitiligo,but it doesn't - it's leucistic.The pink skin is just the same pink skin part you can see on normal coloured hippos.The pink part is so large,because the production of other pigment types is reduced (heavily).

That pink hippo icon ❤

Hope you can get a breeding group going; not seen any on the market so you might have one of the first!

If you google albino hippo, the exact colour pops up..

Yes is it leucism but the game considers it albino - btw did you get the steam achievement?
Or did you already have a 'game albino' ?

Anyway congrats !! It looks awesome !!
