The first known wild chimpanzee with albinism was spotted in Uganda, but the rare 19-day-old animal was brutally killed by its fellow pack just days after the initial sighting.

Researches at the University of Zurich in Switzerland walked into a horrific scene on July 19, 2018, when they heard screaming and cries of the mother and her infant that were being chased by others in their community.  

Just after 7:30am, the team saw an alpha male trek out of a nearby thicket while holding just an arm of the baby albino, according to the findings, which have only just been published.
