4/16/2004: Albino micro bat

[Undertoad]

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the albino micro bat! Official cap:

One of the rarest bats in the world, a completely white (albino) micro bat, nestles on the thumb of carer Pam Tully while recovering from a cat attack at the Batreach Bat Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre at Kuranda, near Cairns in northern Australia, Sunday, March 14, 2004. The bat, a Little Northern Freetail nicknamed 'Starshine', is now in recovery and at four months old, weighs just 6 grams - less than a quarter of a ounce. Little or no research has been done into albinoism in bats, with discovered examples almost none existent.

Rare sure enough, only two other images turned up in a Google search:





Still, I want one.
