this is interesting
there is an genetic effect in humans, that is called "Mosaic". This effect is happend in about 1% of all births and it is random and not reproduceable. It doubles some chromosomes in random cells in the body. There are different types, for example the "Mosaik Trisomi 21" or the Pallister-Killian-Syndrom.
So some people guess that at least such high paradox animals are in fact hets with the mosaik effect. This way some cells will be homozygot for albino and canīt produce melanin. ----- Greetings from Berlin
