Researchers have found an albino chimp in Uganda that met a dreadful end. It was killed by its mother and another chimps.

It is ,doubful it the chimps took the albino for   “the chimp's white coloration also somewhat resembled that of black and white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza), which chimps in the reserve prey upon; the infant's "prey-like" color, combined with its chimp-like smell and appearance, ‘could explain the behavior of some of the individuals towards the infant.’"

 

In any case, chimps don’t deserve our praise, they look like humans, but the fall of man spread also in the animal world,  

 

Albinos are a produce of the The Fall of mankind.

This summer, an underwater remotely operated vehicle from the Okeanos Explorer, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research vessel, filmed an incredible scene of nearly a dozen dogfish sharks feasting on an enormous swordfish carcass that had fallen to the sea floor.

As if that wasn't impressive enough, a few minutes into filming, a goliath grouper (a really big fish) slipped into the picture and gulped one of the sharks down, swallowing it whole. The rest of the sharks remained laser-focused on getting as much of the carcass into their bellies as fast as they could, undisturbed by the larger predator in their midst.

This speaks of the world as it is now, with a predator that will not even spare other predators in the fallen world.
