Rare white crow spotted in northern India
- 4 years ago
Lucky residents of a town in Madhya Pradesh in northern India were amazed this week to spot a white crow
According to locals, the highly unusual bird has been seen in the town of Agar for the last few days.
A clip filmed on Friday (January 17th) showed the animal feeding and preening its white plumage just a few feet away from some black crows.
It's unclear exactly why this specimen is white although birds can have albinism which is a genetic mutation which results in the lack of an enzyme essential to produce melanin.
