Black or White

Often people are classified as being either black or white, but in the animal world, being black or white is often an "exception to the rule" - as is the case with these 2 ostrich chicks = 1 black, the other white.





Similarly this Llama youngster is "unusually" black-coloured.







I "discovered" this little albino monkey in the vicinity of the Victoria Falls - and immediately "made" her the main character of my next book: Moni the Monkey

[My other "story with photos" is Impi the Impala - just check it out on: www.impi-impala.blogspot.com]


To my surprise I also recently detected an albino wildebeest (= a gnu) amongst a herd of Blue wildebeest in a Game reserve in Swaziland.





Another kind of exception to the rule is this springbok - it had accidentally slipped at a lime-rich waterhole & as a result, was covered in white mud!





In contrast this Black(!!) rhino had actually enjoyed a mud-bath at a waterhole in the Etosha Game Reserve (Namibia).





With its pink eyes this bunny also might be an albino!? . . .






. . . wheras this animal is neither white nor black - even if its legs are both black & white. It's generally known as a zonkey = a cross between a donkey & a zebra.
