FIGURE 2.

Images of two preserved albino rodent bodies identified from our survey of Australian museums: (a) dorsal image of a canefield rat (Rattus sordidus), which was labeled as ‘semi‐albino’ from the Australian Museum (New South Wales) but appears to have no pigmentation in the skin or fur except a faint pale gray at the base of the dorsal hairs (pers. comm. Sandy Ingleby; image credit Sandy Ingleby); (b) ventral image of the same canefield rat (image credit Sandy Ingleby); (c) image of a captive‐born long‐haired rat (R. villosissimus) from the South Australian Museum. No data were available on the founder source location or generation of the captive‐born animals (image credit David Stemmer).
