Day 179- Albino Gorillas

When I saw this pin, my reaction was "That is an ugly man!"  Then, I read the caption.  It's an albino gorilla!  It blew my mind.  It looks so human.  It's kind of creepy how much it looks like a person. 

I can't stop staring at it.  Part of me feels like this has to be photoshopped, but a larger part of me believes that it is real.

Update:  I googled it and found a wikipedia page for him.  His name was Snowflake and he was the only albino gorilla ever known!  Read the page.  It's very cool.

Snowflake had 22 children.  Only 6 of them survived to adulthood.  None of his children or grandchildren were albino.
