    Leucistic! Not quite albino, and no red eyes, but pale-colored. There are two of them at the Denver Zoo. Leucistic animals have a lower chance of survival in the wild because of their light-colored coats.

    Is that a mlem or a blep?

    I would call it a blep, to me mlems involve movement.

    It's possible that he got captured mid-mlem after (or before) enjoying the ice.

    That is entirely a possibility. We really need more research on the blep-mlem continuum to fully assess the blep to mlem pipeline.
