It's a zoo in here

I'm Rom, 28, and a huge lover of animals of all kinds, from scaly to furry and everything in between! I will give credit whenever possible, and will try to reblog from posts with sources. See @unbridleddiscoveries for my original wildlife photos!

GUYS NEW SHARK JUST DROPPED

Well, technically it's not new : it's a nurse shark. What's new, however, is that it's the first xanthic (imagine albinism but in yellow) nurse shark ever found !! Not only it's not common AT ALL to find fishes with xanthism (it's the first cartilagenous fish ever recorded with this type of genetic "anomally"), but if it's there and still existing as an adult, it means the species is chill-ish with other predators (it probably would have been eaten by then). Its eyes are white so it can also be a form of albinism, in addition to xanthism !!!!!

And most of all : ITS SO CUTE !! AND IT'S SUCH A COOL FIND !!

Please if a marine biologist or someone with more info can interact with this post to feed me some more info or correct me on wrong infos i'e given I'd love it !

(Also if you have pics of animals with xanthism, it's also very appreciated!!)

The Volcano Rabbit (Romerolagus Diazi), also known as Teporingo or Zacatuche, is the second-smallest rabbit in the world at 390 to 600 grams. It is native to four volcanoes just southeast of Mexico City & emits very high-pitched sounds to warn other rabbits of danger.
