White Seal in Salisbury Plain, South Georgia

White Seal in Salisbury Plain, South Georgia
While waiting for the return zodiac the guides were very excited to point out a white Fur seal. The blond coloration is due to leucism, a condition caused by a lack of melanin, or pigment. The seal has normal eyes and some patches of normal fur so it is not an albino.
