There's a new duckling at the Denver Zoo and she doesn't look anything like her brothers or sisters. That's because she is an albino.
The zoo sent CBS4 video of the albino mandarin.
She hatched on May 30 and is now under the watchful eye of bird keepers.
Normal mandarins are among the most colorful duck species and albinism is a rare, inherited trait.
No word on when she will go on public display.
