"This is so rare specifically because she was born white," Keith Davis of the Spirit Mountain Ranch told the Arizona Republic. "The others were born red (like normal buffaloes) and turned white." Advertisement Dena and Jim Riley, owners of the ranch, said none of their 11 white buffaloes is albino. They are the result of a genetic mutation causing the usual fur color, black or brown, to be white. The birth of a white bison holds special significance for many American Indian tribes, who consider it a symbol of the world's rebirth during troubled times. The ranchers are expecting travellers from around the globe to visit their new addition.
