What is an albino kangaroo?
Albino kangaroos, or white kangaroos are quite rare. In an albino kangaroo, the normal colouring is absent, and the kangaroo has white fur and sometimes (not always) pink eyes. As with all albino animals, albino kangaroos have a reduced amount of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair. Albino kangaroos rarely survive long in the wild. Their eyes and skin have increased sensitivity to sunlight, so they are more prone to sunburn. Their lack of camouflage (white colouring stands out in the wild) also makes them easy targets for predatory animals and birds of prey. Albino kangaroos often have impaired vision as well, so may find it more difficult to dodge predators. Apart from that, they are just as healthy as their normal coloured counterparts.

Are there such things as white kangaroos?
Yes, just like many other animals, there can be kangaroos which grow white fur. On occasion, there are even albino kangaroos. This occurs genetically when an animal has no pigment in it's cells, causing the skin and fur to be completely white and the irises in the eye to be red. Albino animals don't survive very long in the wild because their lack or coloring and camoflage makes then very easy targets for predators.

What is the average height of an Albino Kangaroo?
There is no such species as an albino kangaroo. Albino kangaroos, or white kangaroos, are simply variants within the normal species of kangaroos, whether it be a red kangaroo, grey kangaroo, wallaby or a pademelon. As with all albino animals, albino kangaroos have a reduced amount of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair, meaning that the normal colouring is absent. Albinos can occur in any species of kangaroo.Thus, the average height of an albino kangaroo depends on the species.Red Kangaroos are the largest of the kangaroos. The Red Kangaroo averages 1.6 meters (5.25 ft)tall. Accounts of sizes greater than this are not uncommon, with some large males reportedly reaching approximately 2 meters (6.6 ft), but this would be unusual in an albino kangaroo, as they would tend to be smaller and less robust than their normal coloured counterparts. The smallest known member of the very wide-ranging kangaroo family is the Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is about 23 cm long. Therefore, one might occasionally encounter a very small albino kangaroo - if it lived. Various other members of the kangaroo family - of which there are over 60 - range in size between those two.
