Question

young alligators are eaten by many types of predators: birds, bass, snakes, raccoons, and even other alligators. once alligators are fully grown, they have very few natural enemies. a mutation can occur in alligators that causes them to be born albino (white skin and pink eyes). why are adult albino alligators not found in the wild?

a. the young are easily seen and eaten by predators

b. they cannot be seen easily

c. their white skin reflects sunlight

d. they are too rare to be found

Albino alligators have white skin and pink eyes, making them highly visible. Young alligators already face many predators, and the albino - colored young are more easily spotted and eaten, preventing them from reaching adulthood.
