Albino alligators are extremely rare and have a genetic condition that causes lack of pigmentation, making them white in color with pink eyes. They are more sensitive to sunlight and have a lower survival rate in the wild due to their visibility to predators. Albino alligators are often found in captivity, where they can be viewed by the public in aquariums or zoos.
No. Because of its lack of camouflage and protection from ultraviolet radiation an albino alligator will not live long in the wild.

Whitey, the albino alligator at the California Academy of Sciences, had the unusual habit of being mostly nocturnal, as albino alligators are known to be more sensitive to light. He also had a different diet compared to other alligators, requiring vitamin supplements to make up for his lack of pigmentation. Additionally, Whitey had a unique appearance due to his lack of melanin, which made him stand out from other alligators.

Yes, the albino alligator is a very extinct spieces mainly because of it's white coat, which defeats the purpose of camouflage, making them easy prey for their contenders. Albino alligators are not a species unto themselves, but a mutation form of the alligator. As such, they cannot be considered an endangered species, although very rarely found in the general alligator population.
albino alligators can only survive in captivity because the lack of melanin in their skin makes them get sunburns every time they go in the sun and are therefore vulnerable to other predators as well.
Crocodiles or alligators? Because alligators are being eaten.
I'd have to say probably an Albino Ballpython. Although there would be a small chance of it being non-Albino
Alligators population is being controlled by the hunting season. Less alligators more food for them.
Yes. There are both albino and leucistic alligators. Both the Audobon Zoo in New Orleans and the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans have them on display.
Alligators always begin to move if its habitat begins to dry, wandering several miles to find water.
