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.

In many European cultures, these black birds are seen as evil beings. In France, crows are thought to be the spirits of enchanted nuns, while ravens are thought to be priest spirits. In Germany it is believed that the cursed souls are the incarnation of the spirits or the devil itself; In Sweden, the night-ravens were thought to be the souls of Christian bodies that were not properly burned.
