For those of you who don't know, vitiligo is a harmless long-term skin disorder characterized by white patches that appear on different parts of the body. This happens because the body's immune system attacks and destroys the skin cells that make color (called melanocytes).
Around one percent of the world's population (approximately 50 million people) are thought to have vitiligo, including between two to five million in the US alone, and although it's more common in humans, it can also occur in animals as well. Take a look at the pictures below to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list includes everything from cats, dogs and birds to snakes and even giraffes!

This is the most beautiful cat I've ever seen! Is Vitilgo infectious in any way or life-threatening?

No, I have it. It is just loss of melanin, and thus pigment, in the skin/hair. Not painful. For some it can be itchy.

Number 18 does not have vitiligo, he has the merle gene. His coat is partially diluted and not the strong white that most Vitiligo animals have.

They are all beautiful and so interesting to look at. What a boring world we'd be if every species looked alike, including the human kind.

So? What's your point? We all know that fur isn't skin, lol.
