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.

White deer becomes media sensation

Last year, news of a white deer photographed near the sub-Balkan town of Karlovo made the rounds of all the Bulgarian media and prompted hundreds of people to take walks in the woods and meadows near the village of Moskovets, hoping to catch a glimpse of the beautiful animal.
