Rare pink leopard caught on camera

The rosettes are still there, which is the detail I keep circling back to. A leopard carrying a pale, pinkish tone to its coat turned up in front of a camera out in the wild, and that light fur sits alongside the usual spot patterns rather than replacing them. What might explain it is erythrism, a pigmentation variation that shows up rarely, though nobody has pinned down the actual genetics behind this particular animal's coloring. So the reason stays open. Nature still has a way of tossing out something that feels like it shouldn't exist, and this cat is a solid reminder of that.
