Leucistic Zebra

I noticed this zebra in the Satara area and realised there was something
amiss. It was slightly lighter than the other zebra with more brownish
stripes rather than black. It had beige tinges to its tail, mane, and
eyelashes. Its eyes were a blueish-gray colour rather than the normal brown.
I realised it's a leucistic zebra. It was the first time that I've noticed a
zebra with a lack of pigment.
