The day of Creator is at handThe Native American prophecy of the white buffalo states that when it is born, the day of the Creator is at hand. In 1994 this white buffalo was born. Since then other white animals have started to appear. I just had to share this video. It has a strange effect on me, because it brings great happiness.

There's nothing uncommon about albino animals. They've been being born for millions of years. The real tragedy is that religious crazies in the present day infuse this simple genetic flaw with magical significance - to the extent that albino human beings are at serious risk of being abducted and murdered in parts of Africa.

These are not albino animals strictly speaking, however. If you ever saw albino rabbits, you already know they have red eyes and noses, because they lack melanin pigment entirely (a condition called amelanism).
These animals are no different from their more normal coloured variety, except they are white-skinned or white-furred. The eyes are not red, or some other unusual colour, and the noses are not red either, or of some unusual colour. In other words, these animals do have some melanin, while strict albinos lack it entirely (this condition is called hypomelanism).
These animals are rare in nature, so I think that is part of the "magic". The rest has more to do with the (parallel) fulfillment of Native American oral legends, and enough of them have been fulfilled to warrant that we may indeed be living in "interesting times".
