This thread is meant to create a list of all the atypical and if possible where they can be seen in person (wildlife, zoo or museum). I would propose to exclude some forms that are already adressed in other threads like white lions/tiger and black panthers/jaguars.
The different categories are size (bigger than normal, dwarfism), morphological (albinism, leucism, melanism, specific patterns)
personaly did I also think of disabled specimen, but I am not sure if such should be included in here.
One specific example that I have on my mind imediately is the polar bear antonia from the zoom erlebniswelt zoo in gelsenkirchen, that has a form of dwarfism.
Also wanted to ask what you might think of the idea, that zootierliste might include such informations in the description boxes for each institutions, if a filter for these things could be of use?
