A White Elephant is really an Albino Elephant

The word Albino was first used in 1777 and is from the Portuguese language. The albino elephant is an animal that is lacking normal pigmentation, with the result being that the skin and hair are abnormally white or milky and the eyes have a pink or blue iris and a deep-red pupil.

Albino Elephants are extremely rare and unique. We have included some images of recent sightings as examples.

AlbinoPhant is an online white elephant gift exchange and is the first internet version of the traditional white elephant party. Like the sighting of an albino elephant, AlbinoPhant is a unique and wonderful way to share fun white elephant gifts with family and friends no matter where they live. We are proud to share this unique world with the rare albino elephant.
You can learn the history of the white elephant HERE and the source of the white elephant gift exchange HERE.
Your going to love this party!

Albino elephants are not usually white, but instead they have more of a reddish-brown or pink hue.

These unique white elephants are so rare that we really don’t know how they turn out the way they do.

Today is PartyWeDo’s birthday and also Bruce Christensen.
In honor of getting one year older, I am adding some Elephant-age trivia:

• Elephants live an average of 70 years, but some go into the 80′s.

• According to the NY Times;  Lin Wang, originally from Myanmar, died at the age of 86. They reported that this was the oldest elephant as of 2003.

• There is a report out of Taiwan that there was mail elephant, Plai Aek, who at 89 is thought to be the oldest elephant father in the world…

• There are ancient relatives of the modern elephant that date back 60 Million years.

That’s Google’s story and I’m sticken to it…
