flag A rare white echidna, likely albino, spotted in Tasmania went viral after being filmed by a resident.

flag Nikita Silcock, a resident of north-western Tasmania, spotted a rare white echidna on October 26, 2025, initially mistaking it for a cat. flag The animal, likely albino or leucistic due to a genetic mutation, was captured on video and quickly went viral, reaching over one million views. flag Experts confirm such sightings are extremely rare, with few documented cases, and note that while albinism increases vulnerability to predators and vehicles, echidnas’ spiny armor offers some protection. flag The condition is more common on isolated islands due to genetic factors. flag Silcock, originally from Newcastle, described the encounter as unforgettable, praising the echidnas’ calm, curious nature and fluffy appearance.
