Amazing 12 Pictures of the Extremely Rare and Legendary creature - The White Raven.

The white birds are believed to number in the single digits locally, born from a single pair of black common ravens with a rare genetic defect. They are considered leucistic, with reduced pigmentation, rather than albino, since they have some colour in their eyes.

How were the Ravens Known in the Past? In many cultures from Greece to Tibet, it was believed that these birds were sent as heralds of God. Celtic war goddesses took the form of ravens when fighting. Odin, the Viking god, has two ravens, Hugin and Munin, who travel the world every day and bring him news. The Chinese believed that ravens brought the bad weather to tell them that God was coming. Some Indians worshiped the raven as a deity they believed to have created the world.
