Nature knows how to surprise us! Rare color mutations can make even the most familiar animal look totally new to us. Color mutations vary from albinism (when cells are unable to produce melanin,) to chimerism (when an organism is composed of 2 or more genetically distinct cells.) The rarer the mutation, the more unusual the animal’s appearance!
