Albino ::
Albino (n.) A
person, whether negro, Indian, or
white, in whom by some
defect of

substance which gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes is
deficient or in a
morbid state. An
albino has a skin of a milky hue, with hair of the same
color, and eyes with deep red pupil and pink or blue iris. The term is also used of the lower
animals, as white mice,
elephants, etc.; and of
plants in a
whitish condition from the
