Was just surfing around and found these pics from the Australia Zoo. They are calling its a lucy. I don't know what it is. It looks like well here you can see. I'm sure some1 else has came across these pics before.
Its obviously not a lucy. But what in the world is it???

My guess is it looks like a high white calico, no expert and not even sure if that's ever even been seen in burms but I've seen high white calico retics and it looks simular.
thanks

Yeah, every now & then someone stumbles upon those photos & posts about 'em. It's been awhile since I read up on it but I believe that it technically meets the terms of "leucistic," although I call it a calico. However, genetics ain't my strongest point.
If I remember right, I believe it came from the wild and Steve Irwin didn't want to try to reproduce it.
Have a good one!
