Albino Alligator Catches Global Attention

The world on social media is expressing a lot of excitement at the photograph of an unusual alligator found at Gatorland in Florida.

The alligator has a completely white skin and pink eyes.

Authorities at the 110-acre wildlife park which is an alligator sanctuary have rightly named the animal, Pearl.

Against the tropical Florida sun, Pearl almost glitters.

Because we know you love Pearl! @michaelr.rick @savannahboan #gatorland #wearealligators #gatorlandorlando #visitflorida #gatorlandisawesome #pearl #albino #alligator #alligators #alligators off #iloveyou #reptilesofinstagram #reptiles #albinoalligator #whitealligator #spiritanimal #orlando #Florida #unusualpets
