Albino Animals
According to Wikipedia: Many animals with albinism, however, lose their protective camouflage and are unable to conceal themselves from their predators or prey. The survivability rate of animals with albinism in the wild is usually quite low.
As albinism is a recessive gene, the chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of a creature with albinism with a creature without albinism is very low.
I'm also interested in albinism as we have a mostly white robin (he's rather mottled in appearance), living around here. I'd love to get a photo of him sometime to share.

It sure makes an animal look different when they don't have the colours we're used to them having...quite fascinating!!
