According to Susanta Nanda, who works at the Indian Forest Service, another albino turtle was found by locals in Sindh a few years ago. She also shared a video and a picture of the turtle.
Speaking about albinism, Siddhartha Pati explained: “It is a congenital disorder and it is characterized by complete or partial absence of tyrosine pigment,”. “Also, sometimes a mutation takes place in the gene sequence or there is a deficiency of tyrosine,” he continued.
