Colombia confirmed the first case of an albino ocelot, after carrying out genetic tests on a feline with white fur and red eyes.
The ocelot was found as a kitten, weighing just 440
grams, in the rural zone of Amalfi and was first thought to be a puma
jaguarundi.
Medellin’s Conservation Park undertook
genetic testing on the animal, concluding it was actually a leopardus
pardalis, a native species of ocelot that is found all across the
Americas.
