I haven't either. By the looks of all the shots it stuck around for a while.

Amazing photography! Also a great website and magazine.

After some searching around the site I came across this unique device that enables photographers to photograph wildlife:

Thanks for that. magnificent! and talk abour RARE!!
Albino critters in the wild are rare in 2 respects.
Genetiuc mutations are rare, Second the mutation makes albinos particularly easy for preditors to snack on, thus they typically do not survive very long.
