When raised alongside their pigmented siblings, albino tadpoles were less likely to survive and changed into adult toads faster when competing for food and space. Adult albino toads grew more slowly and had much more difficulty catching prey, particularly requiring much brighter light to hunt successfully. Should we expand on the
