The young leucistic hippopotamus lacks much of the pigmentation that normal hippos have, which gives it a blotchy-pink appearance. The photographers have a blog post about their discovery at the Burrard-Lucas Blog. More about this discovery can also be found at the Telegraph.co.uk. You can see more images of odd-colored animals and plants here.

Yesterday, I was in the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking the Boone Fork Trail near Boone and Blowing Rock, North Carolina, when I saw this deer camouflaged amongst some rhododendron. Can you find it? Each picture reveals more of the deer.

It’s the amazing Uroplatus! Also known as the leaf-tailed gecko, the genus Uroplatus is endemic to Madagascar.
