Albino cheetah and maltese cheetah Red (erythristic) cheetahs have dark tawny spots on a golden background. Cream (or isabelline) cheetahs appear to be a further dilution of red with pale red spots on a pale background.

Albinism happens in mammals when a person inherits one or more mutated genes from both parents. These genes stop the body from making melanin, the main pigment that gives skin, fur, and eyes their colors. Albinism can also happen in cheetahs. Let us know about the albino cheetah in detail in this article.

2024年7月20日 · Albinism is a genetic condition affecting humans and animals, making them have pale skin, yellow or white hair/fur, and pink eyes. These ghostly-looking creatures are rare, but almost all animal species can have this mutation. In this article, we will show you rare albino animals that have existed. But first, what exactly is albinism?

2024年3月13日 · Although these wild cats are classified as one species, there are distinctions between the four subspecies. Join us as we learn about the types of cheetahs in the animal kingdom.

2018年6月5日 · Albinism (white) results in whitish-pink fur or feathers, and eyes with reddish pupils (the diagnostics trait). It is only passed on if both parents transfer it to their offspring. Albinism is caused by a genetic mutation causing an absence of tyrosinase in pigment cells.

2012年4月23日 · A strange cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) has been photographed in Kenya by wildlife artist Guy Combes. The “golden” cheetah’s telltale spots are bizarrely diluted.

2012年4月23日 · Guy Coombes photographed this rare ‘morph’ cheetah in the Athi-Kapiti area of south­ern Kenya over a year ago. Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals, with documented speeds up to 115 km/hour in captivity and 93 km/hour in the wild, but they cannot maintain such speeds for more than a few hundred metres.
