Mysterious White Peacock


Ok, the only peacocks that I have ever encountered in the United States are the normal blue and green peacocks at the zoo in Madison, Wisconsin. I have never in my life seen a white peacock. Well, I got my chance while at West Lake in Hangzhou. We were walking along the lake after our boat trip, and here was a white peacock. Some of us ran after it trying to get a good shot of it. The poor bird kept squawking at us and just seemed to want to be left alone. It was really really cool to see a white peacock. After doing some research on the internet, I found out that the white peacock is not an albino peacock but rather another version of the traditional peacock that we see in the zoos in the United States.
