quite a lot of these animals aren’t true albinos. As evidenced by the fact that several of them have bright blue eyes rather than pink. They have a lack of pigment in the skin but aren’t true albino
Actually having bright blue eyes is part of the definition of being a partial albino. The lack of pigmentation plus the way the light is reflected in the iris causes the blue color….there are 2 types of albinos–partial and pure. Pure albinos have the pink eyes.

Nature makes mistakes, too. All these albinos are easily seen and preyed upon by natural enemies.
Why no humans?
Except for the deer who live in snow year ’round.
The Dolphin is not albino…it is a pink river dolphin.
those dolphins aren’t albinos. they’re Amazon river dolphins, many of them are colored pink.
those dolphins are albino, the white skin + blood makes their skin LOOK pink
