There are golden zebras in nature.

Zebras usually have black and white stripes, but photographers photographed a rare "golden" zebra in the wild and published it in National Geographic magazine.

The photo was taken by Sergio Pitametz. On February 19, while filming zebra migration in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, he accidentally photographed a zebra whose coat color was obviously lighter than his companion.

Strictly speaking, the stripes on this zebra are golden brown, but National Geographic calls them "golden".

"My first thought was a zebra rolling in the dust," Pitametz recalled.

But not long after, when he saw a zebra drinking water in a nearby pond, and the color of its stripes did not change, he realized that it was a rare zebra.

Experts believe that the light color of zebra should be the expression of albinism, only partial albinism. Albinism is a disease with low melanin content in the skin, so their colors look lighter and sometimes golden yellow. This situation is extremely rare in zebras.

Although golden zebras are rare, they are not alone in the animal kingdom.

Other kinds of animals have also recorded examples of albinism, such as giraffes, penguins, orangutans, mice and so on.
