EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rare and enchanting sight of an Albino badger gracefully resting on a garden lawn. The European badger, scientifically known as Meles meles, is a majestic mammal that can be found in various regions across mainland Europe. However, this particular snapshot was taken in Beaminster, Dorset, UK during the serene month of November. The image beautifully captures the essence of this unique creature against the backdrop of an English winter evening. Its pristine white fur stands out against the dark surroundings, emphasizing its striking appearance. This albino badger possesses a genetic anomaly where recessive genes have resulted in albinism—a lack of pigmentation that gives it its ethereal coloration. The photograph not only highlights the beauty and rarity of this individual animal but also provides insight into the fascinating world of genetics and zoology. It serves as a reminder that nature's diversity knows no bounds and continues to surprise us with its wonders. Colin Varndell expertly captured this moment from Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for those seeking to explore and understand our natural world better. Through images like these, we are reminded to appreciate and protect all living creatures that share our planet—especially those as extraordinary as this albino badger.
