White Buffalo

The White Buffalo is a rare variation of the American buffalo (bison), characterized by its all-white or nearly white coat. This unusual coloration is caused by a genetic condition called leucism or albinism, which affects pigmentation. White Buffaloes are considered sacred in many Native American cultures, symbolizing spirituality, hope, and renewal. While they are not albino (which involves complete lack of pigment), genuine white buffaloes are exceedingly rare in nature, making sightings highly significant and often viewed as spiritual signs or blessings.
