The white anteater, known as Alvin, was first spotted late last year clinging to his mother's back.
Conservationists have released new photos of the only known living albino giant anteater on Earth, who is now believed to be at least 1 year old.
On May 10, AHP posted new images of Alvin on Facebook. The white anteater is now 4.9 feet long and weighs 31 pounds , which suggests he is over 1 year old and not far from being fully grown, AHP representatives wrote on Facebook. Alvin was also given his second GPS vest after outgrowing his first one.
"When we got there, he was already dead, but we were able to collect genetic samples that were sent to the lab for analysis," Dr. Débora Yogui, a veterinarian with the AHP team, said in the statement. By comparing the DNA collected from the first albino with Alvin's DNA, the team will be able to tell if the animals are related, she added.
