Unlikely to survive in the wilds of native Even in England in captivity, eyes and skin around ear tips for example, prone to severe sun burning. Lacking melanin pigment which gives darker colouration in the skin, fur and eyes in normally coloured animals. Pink-red of eyes and skin is shown because of translucency revealing veins and minute capillary blood vessels. Sense of sight much impaired, though smell and hearing probably normal.
