White alligators can survive only in captivity.
In the wild, they would be subject to sunburn and attacks from predators. This may be the only opportunity most people ever have to see one. The Zoo is building new tanks to house the special guests during their stay. The white alligator is a rare genetic mutation of the American alligator. Pierre and Fifi are albino animals, meaning they have skin pigment cells but lack the dominant black pigment cell that causes the alligator s normal blackish-green color.
