Meet Snowflake, the world’s only known albino gorilla.. I think a better name for this amazing animal would have been Harvey or Bernie.
Researchers at Barcelona’s Institut de Biologia Evolutiva say that Snowflake’s parents were closely related.
Researchers estimate that Snowflake’s parents were either a grandparent and grandchild, half-siblings, or an uncle/aunt and niece/nephew.
Snowflake was a Western Lowland gorilla who was found by farmers in Equatorial Guinea in 1966.
