Close snap of the same. Mark the pink eyes, one indicative feature of albinism. pic.twitter.com/MfXrXVYbfH

It’s called Lutino. If any animal’s pigmentation is totally white it’s called Albino and if yellow it’s called Lutino. Some breeds of birds are also Albino and Lutino. This turtle’s breed is the Indian Softshelled turtle. (1/1)>
