Photos of a white bison calf in Yellowstone National Park have generated excitement as well as questions: How does that happen?
A rare white buffalo calf, reportedly born in Yellowstone National Park 's Lamar Valley, is shown on June 4, 2024, in Wyo.
The birth fulfills a Lakota prophecy that portends better times, according to members of the American Indian tribe who cautioned that it's also a warning more must be done to protect the earth and its animals. Leucistic animals lack some cells that otherwise produce melanin, a natural pigment that gives color to fur, eyes, feathers and skin. Their bodies may appear almost entirely white, or only white in patches, and they generally have normal or dark-colored eyes.
