ReplyDeleteI love turtles so beautiful
DeleteBelíssima!
ReplyDeleteHe's gorgeous ❤️
ReplyDeleteAmazingly GORGEOUS❣😍
ReplyDeleteNature is AWESOME !!!Hopefully they won't kill it , to see how it happens ....
ReplyDeleteThey know how it happens already. Albinism is a congenital disorder, that causes a partial or complete absence of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair.
DeleteSo pretty.
DeleteHe is just such a adorable and cute little fella I'd keep him and look after him just to make sure he was safe and well looked after for the rest of his life
DeleteReptiles dont have hair
DeleteHopefully he will have a long and good life protected by his piers.
DeleteDoes anyone know where it's found?
ReplyDeleteWood Turtle are endangered and protected. They are found in the eastern US. One named, Franklin, lives at Fountain Rock Nature Center in Walkersville, MD. Franklin does not have albinism.
DeleteSorry, they are found from Eastern US down through central America.
DeleteBeautiful species! I love seeing the rare and awesome critters we have in our world. I hope they're protected by endangered species act!
ReplyDeletenot a "species", just an anomaly within a species.
DeleteI hope it's protected sometimes they don't live long because of the albinoism., Nature is sometimes amazing ❤️ it produces beauty out of the ordinary.
DeleteNow that's different....i like em
ReplyDeleteI want one
ReplyDeleteNO...just NO
DeleteThat's the trouble, isn't it?
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how nature can make such beautiful creatures in all shapes and sizes and colors
ReplyDeleteSorry, But "Nature" per say did Not Create this Beauty.....GOD DID💗
DeleteNature did make this idiot
DeleteJust gorgeous!!! I also would like to know where this beauty was found.. I hope they protect this baby
ReplyDeleteWhere this creature was found......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mm Country, city, place..come on..?
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love to know also. I will have to Google it.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a sea turtle 🤔
ReplyDeleteClose. Wood Turtles are semi-aquatic. They prefer to stay close to water and spend hours lounging and napping in the water 💕
DeleteThis turtle is awesome
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and I hope he or she is well cared for, for the rest of their life.
ReplyDeleteWhat, No Bell Bottoms?
ReplyDeleteAmazing...nature never ceases to intrigue me!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth!
DeleteNow, put it back where you found it.
ReplyDeleteThe albino turtle is considered beautiful but an albino person gets stared at and talked about...smh🤷🤦
ReplyDeleteNot by everyone. There are those who see the unique beauty of all.
DeleteLooks like he could use some sun block spf 40
ReplyDeleteStunning!!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of nature
ReplyDeleteGod has such an imagination in His creation!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly amazing and beautiful. I hope it is taken care of by someone who is interested in the turtle and has the turtles best care in mind.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that we gawk and go gaga over the unusual? There's nothing wrong with the ordinary. It's like being obsessed with effing princesses. Nothing "special" about them, just genetics in this case. Albinism is generally a flaw that makes life tough.
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful. I want one.
ReplyDeletethat's so rare and beautiful I hope they are protective
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the ugly comments deleted, we are admiring unusuality, NOT turtle soup 😡
ReplyDeleteThat is how Gammera looked before he mutated. Then we all that Godzilla had a time with him.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful & colorful.
ReplyDeleteIt's beauty that counts inside and out, I too hope that turtle makes a good Life finds a partner and has baby turtles... But that doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I have seen some albino people I do not find them Freakish, Just different.
ReplyDeleteAll glory to God ❤️
ReplyDeleteHopefully he'll have a good and healthy long life protected by his piers.
ReplyDeleteIt is leucistic as in having color pigment deficiency. Albinos have no color pigments.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely mesmerizing and fantastic! I truly thought I knew what beautiful looked like. Realized I didn't until I saw this guy!
ReplyDeleteWe as people are attracted and amused by the oddly unique and visibly different. The fact is, Albinism is strangely becoming more and more commonplace in virtually all forms of life across the planet. This is a weak link by any standard and should not be sought to replicate as it will eventually lead to the demise of any given species. The phrase "THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH" is happening before our very eyes. We are embracing it rather than trying to curb it.
