It is amazing the way nature can change things. Sometimes the most unusual and fascinating things can happen even to elephants. Normally elephants are born with the dark grey skin pigmentation that is typical of their kind, but so far in the Amboseli population there have been two exceptions. The first was in the JB family; where the very beautiful Jemima had a calf, which was rather white in complextion and considered an albino. The male calf seems healthy and strong. The second was in the FA family; when 44-year-old Fenella also had a calf with albino pigmentation.
