A unique specimen - an albino wild boar - was shot near the village of Lyubcha in the Rhodope municipality of Dospat. The remarkable catch was made on the very first day of the new hunting season, the local hunting club reported. It is a three-year-old male that is completely white, including its eyelids. In fact, this is a rare abnormality in animals that is not related to genetic crossbreeding with domesticated animals, but rather to the accumulation or lack of the pigment melanin, experts say. Local hunters say they cannot recall a trophy albino boar being shot in their area.
