Albino whales (or animals) have many physical disadvantages. One
disadvantage is their color. White is an easy color to see any where in
the wild because it is rarely a color of natural scenery. White is a
color that is easily seen underwater, and predators can spot them and hunt
them down without easier than hunting another spiecies. Another
disadvantage is their poor eyesight. If a predator is chasing after an
albino, it cannot see farther than six feet away throught the murky ocean,
but the predator can. Yet another disadvantage is that they have many
problems with their blood, like high or low blood pressure, causing
bleeding for no reason at all. Another disadvantage is that albino
andmals' immune systerms don't work as well as other animal's, causing
them to get sick easily, and they go slower when they are being chased by
a predator. The last disadvantage is that albino animals have a slower
intelligence and may not react to their surroundings as quickly as any
other animal would.
