The world's only albino gorilla was the result of INCEST- and his lack of colour meant he died from skin cancer, claim scientists
Snowflake the albino gorilla inherited the gene that caused him to be born without colour pigments in his skin and hair
Spanish scientists sequenced this genome and discovered that his parents were closely related to each other - likely uncle and niece
The researchers analysed samples from a vial of frozen blood taken from Snowflake before he died in 2003
His albinism is thought to have led to his death from skin cancer

I saw it in the Barcelona zoo, seemed to be quite sad and bored, looking people with an ironic expression.

I think zoos should be done away with.

This tiger also was the result of it, but this is not proper albino tiger.
