Tim Jansen van Vuuren was leading a group through the MalaMala Game Reserve in Kruger National Park, South Africa, last month when he made the unusual sighting. The mammal, the smallest of the herd at no older than two or three weeks at the time, was surrounded by her family as she eagerly frolicked and played in the sea of green grass. Her rare pink colouring is believed to have been caused by leucism, a condition which causes a partial loss of pigmentation and which is different to albinism. **Please contact licensing@ for media / licensing / broadcast usage** SUBMIT A VIDEO:
