Found an interesting article related to the Albino Gorilla, Snowflake, that lived for 40 years but passed away in 2003

Snowflake was very cute.
I have heard of the Albino effect before, but in people. I remember when I was in High School or Junior High School that there was a girl that had white hair and pink eyes, I think it was. She was a bit unusual in coloring but one of the nicest and friendliest people ever.
