How do animals become albinos?

Albino animals

The term albino means an animal completely lacking in pigmentation, it has no color whatsoever; its fur is pure white, and its eyes are opaque, although the blood seen through the eyes gives them a pink appearance. Geneticists have discovered many genes which produce a 'white' animal, and only one gene that produces the true albino.
