White Mandarin Duck


There are various mutations of the Mandarin Duck found in captivity. The most common of this rarity is the White Mandarin Duck. Although it is relatively unknown as the origin of this mutation, it is presumed that the constant pairing of related birds and selective breeding deactivated autosomal choromosomes, creating the existence of albinism. Evidence of albinism is seen with the minor pigmentation observed on the plumage of both male and female specimens, making it a recessive trait. Least Concern and no need license to have it in Malaysia since it was not threatened and native species. But its quite rare and difficult to find at pet shops.
