Onya-Birri aka Ghost Boy: The Albino Koala
Onya-Birri was born to two normal, gray koalas at the San Diego Zoo in 1997. The name Onya-Birri is an Aboriginal (indigenous to Australia) phrase meaning “ghost boy” because of his white fur. Since he is a marsupial, like kangaroos, this koala spent his first six months in his mother’s pouch.

When the little koala popped his face out of his mom’s pouch, the zoo staff were shocked to see his white fur and a pink nose. Albino koalas are very rare, but they’ve been spotted in the wild before.
