 Wow. I knew this was a rare creature (only 40 in the world) but I didnt think that so many people would think I over flashed, over exposed,or edited this picture. It is a true Albino Alligator. It is sitting on the floor of it's underwater area (yes, picture shot through glass into water). See more pictures (that I took) on the www.birminghamzoo.com website.

Very interesting. Just read your blurb on the boards and had to take a peak.
I can't believe some actually thought this was overly exposed or use of a bad flash lol. Excellent shot and I would love to see one in person myself!

I am going to Birmingham this year. We are taking our son to Visionland for a 3 day weekend. I looked up the Zoo in the area, and I did see this shot. I knew it looked familiar! LOL...Have you ever gone to the Vulcan Tower? I am wondering what kind of view you get up there, and if you have taken photos from there. Please let me know. You can write to my email, as my PM isn't working well. But you can PM me if you like.

Is this a real alligator with a little too much flash?
