一般在动物园比较常见的孔雀，通常都是蓝孔雀或者是绿孔雀，这两种孔雀是世界已经定名的唯二品种。而今天为大家介绍的白孔雀，它其实是蓝孔雀的变异品种，并非独立物种。有许多动物学家认为，白孔雀的祖籍在印度和斯里兰卡。
和蓝孔雀和绿孔雀不同，白孔雀出了眼睛呈淡红色的以外，它全身洁白无一丝杂色。白孔雀开屏的时候非常的美，比一般的蓝孔雀绿孔雀都要美得多，可以说是世界上最美的孔雀。那洁白的漂亮羽尾，给人一种梦幻般的感觉，光是看图片就觉得超级美。
白孔雀因为是变异品种，它一般需要靠人工繁育，而且数量还极为的稀少。这种珍贵稀少的漂亮鸟类，目前经过人工驯养之后，已经达到了种群的自我维持状态。现在许多动物园内，都能够见到它们的美丽身影，这是一种看多少遍都依然觉得它们很美的鸟类。
之所以白孔雀非常的稀少罕见，主要是因为它的变异率非常的低，它是由蓝孔雀变异而来的，变异率仅千分之一。而且在雌性孔雀的眼中，雄性白孔雀远没有蓝孔雀、绿孔雀有吸引力。除了颜色稀少罕见以外，它的许多习性与其它孔雀相近。
The world's beautiful and rare white peacock
The peacocks commonly seen in zoos are usually blue peacocks or green peacocks. These two peacocks are the only two species that have been named in the world. Today, the white peacock is actually a variant of the blue peacock, not an independent species. Many zoologists believe that the white peacock's ancestral home is in India and Sri Lanka.
And blue peacock and green peacock different, white peacock out of the eyes are pale red, its whole body white without a trace of motley color. When the white peacock spreads its tail, it is very beautiful, much more beautiful than the ordinary blue peacock and green peacock. It can be said that it is the most beautiful peacock in the world. The beautiful white feather tail, give people a dreamy feeling, just look at the pictures feel super beautiful.
Because white peacock is a mutant species, it generally needs to rely on artificial breeding, and the number is extremely rare. This rare and beautiful bird, now after artificial domestication, has reached the self-sustaining state of the population. Now many zoological parks, can see their beautiful figure, this is a kind of see many times still think they are beautiful birds.
The reason why the white peacock is very rare is mainly because its mutation rate is very low. It is derived from the blue peacock, and the mutation rate is only 1/1000. And in the eyes of female peacocks, male white peacocks are far less attractive than blue and green peacocks. In addition to its rare color, it shares many of its habits with other peacocks.
