Without the camouflage that their normal coloration awards them, albino turtles are much more susceptible to predators. This makes their lifespan shorter and therefore contributes to the rarity of their kind. Despite this genetic disadvantage, turtles are lucky in the spectrum of albino animals. Due to the protection that their hard shell provides, they do typically live longer than other albino species—though their life is still shorter than a standard turtle. |
