Conservationists have released photos of the only known living albino giant anteater on Earth.

Researchers from Anteaters and Highways Project (AHP) investigating the anteater road deaths, came across the anteater on a ranch in Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul state. They named the unique animal Alvin.

Dr Debora Yogui is a veterinarian working on the project. She told Newsday that Alvin was discovered by cowboys in Brazil who 鈥渟aw the mother with normal dark colours carrying a white baby鈥�.

鈥淗e鈥檚 beautiful but鈥�with this white colour he鈥檚 less able to camouflage into the landscape.鈥�
