A 4 photo depiction of Erythrism - a genetic mutation in animals that gives them a much more pale, almost ginger expression in their fur/markings. Top right: a pink and pale orange grasshopper Top left: an adult and baby zebra, striped white and creamy orange instead of black Bottom right: a white and orange striped tiger Bottom left: a white and orange spotted leopard.

I love that #erythrism is kind of like the #ginger mutation of the animal world.

Das me on the bottom!

What's behind the ghostly appearance of this rare badger? A North American badger in California went viral for its strikingly pale appearance. New photos may reveal what’s really behind its unique coloration.

"Clear shots of the badger showed its fur color has a reddish hue, not obvious before. This pattern suggests the critter is more likely erythristic, a condition that causes a mammal’s coat to appear white with rusty hues."

While out tracking turtles, Kira recently spotted this unusually colored Katydid! This individual has a rare condition known as #erythrism, which causes an abundance of pink and red pigments, giving it this unusual color!
