The White Peacock
The White Peacock (Pavo cristatus) is a rare and striking variant of the Indian Peafowl. Its all-white plumage is due to a genetic condition called leucism, which results in a lack of pigmentation. Despite the absence of color, white peacocks retain the same elaborate feather patterns and impressive tail displays as their colorful counterparts. Males fan out their long, iridescent tail feathers during courtship to attract females. Native to the Indian subcontinent, they inhabit forests, open woodlands, and even urban areas.
