Extremely Rare White Cougar Highlights A Quirk Of The Species

As you’ve probably already noticed, we like to write articles about cats. And as we’ve already noticed, you like to read these articles just as much as we like to create them. But today, let’s mix things up a bit by putting a twist on this whole cat thing. Today, let’s talk about a wild cat that also happens to be an extremely rare one.

According to National Geographic, genetic color aberrations, such as albinism and leucism, are generally pretty common among wild cats, but for mysterious reasons, they're almost unheard of in pumas. "That shows you how extremely unusual it is," executive director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Big Cats Program Luke Hunter told National Geographic. "It's a striking set of photos." After these pictures were taken, the animal was never seen again.
