Western Hogs are variable in color. Some are more reddish, others are greenish, others are yellowish. When you produce albinos, you see this variation as well. So there are pinkish albinos, yellowish albinos, etc.



Most of the names associated with albino hogs are nothing more than that....names.



As for the idea of a hypo albino...how is that possible?



A hypo (=hypomelanistic) snake has less melanin than normal. An albino has none. So if you have none, how could you also have less than normal?
