[Explanation] On September 25, the Annanba Wild Camel National Nature Reserve Administration, located in Aksai, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, found the first case of "albino" wild camels in the reserve while collating video data.

  According to Zhou Yongxiang, a special investigator for wild camels of the Administration, the video showed that at 7:26 on September 11, 11 camels gathered in the reserve to drink water.

A wild camel with a pale skin contrasts sharply with other golden and dark brown camels.

Except for its skin color, this camel is no different from other camels in size and appearance.

  Its head, head and other parts are still the same color, and then gradually lighten from the neck part to the whole part of the body is white.

On September 11th, our video was not installed for a long time. It was installed at the end of August. It took nearly a month to retrieve the information before we have this piece of information.

  Not to mention albino wild camel, normal wild camel, we usually go in, it is difficult to see it, it is difficult to take pictures of it when we see people, it is very difficult to find this peak albino wild camel.

  [Explanation] The video was taken by an automatic tracking camera set up next to the drinking pool of wild animals in the reserve. What caused the "whitening" phenomenon of this wild camel is still uncertain.

  We sent these materials to the Xinjiang Wild Camel Protection Association because they are good at scientific research.

Whether this gene has been mutated, mutated, or is affected by the external environment or the natural environment is uncertain. I have only seen this phenomenon, but what caused it is now uncertain.

  [Explanation] The Annanba Wild Camel Reserve belongs to the Kumtag Desert and its surrounding areas, one of the distribution of domestic wild camel populations. It is located between the Altun Mountain and the Kumtag Desert and accounts for about the largest number of domestic wild camel populations. More than 1/3.
