Albino

A person or animal with a genetic condition that causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin, hair, and eyes. This condition is due to a deficiency in melanin, the pigment responsible for giving color to these bodily features. As a result, albinos often have very pale skin, white or light-colored hair, and light-sensitive eyes that may appear pink or red due to the lack of pigment in the iris.
