Albino Zebra

Albino Zebra - have a lot less melanin in their skin and consequently, their stripes are much lighter. Their eyesight can also be affected, and it is thought that the black and white stripes of the normal Zebra offer protection from insects, so, the Albinos are more prone to picking up insect borne diseases which inevitably shorten their life-span. The black and white stripes also provide a degree of camouflage.
