Wow, that was a great question! Really made me think :-).
I have never heard of such a thing existing, and I think it probably couldn’t, because of how albinos come about.
Normally, an animal is albino because it doesn’t produce the chemical that makes hair and skin look darker, called melanin. Everything has two copies of the gene for producing melanin, but sometimes the gene gets broken. it’s ok for most animals because one of the genes still works, but for albinos, both copies of the gene are broken. So if two albino animals had a baby, they could only pass down broken copies of the gene, because they don’t have a non-broken one between them!
