A rare white peacock was spotted in New Port Richey on Friday morning. According to Treehugger, white peacocks are incredibly rare due to a genetic mutation known as leucism, which inhibits melanin from being deposited in their feathers. The Indian peafowl is the only species that leucism affects, as this is the species most commonly kept in captivity and white peacowls are often specially bred to be so.
