Bizzare: Matured White Crocodile Spotted In Australian River

Mature white crocodile spotted in Australian river


An uncommon sighting of a mature white crocodile has excited tourism operators in Australia's Northern Territory. The reptile, nicknamed Pearl, was spotted on the Adelaide River near Darwin on Sunday. One witness, a local conservation enthusiast, estimated the crocodile was about 3m (10ft) long.

The reptile's pale appearance is caused by hypomelanism - having a low amount of the pigment melanin, according to a zoological expert. Locals believe the animal may be related to a well-known hypomelanistic crocodile that was put down after killing a fisherman in 2014.

Such crocodiles are "not uncommon" at a young age, particularly in crocodile farms, according to Mr Britton. However, it is difficult for a pale juvenile to steer clear of predators.
