Are albino gorillas accepted by their group?

The only albino gorilla I have ever heard of was Snowflake (Floquet de neu in Catalan, or Copito de Nieve in Spanish), who lived in the Barcelona zoo for almost 40 years. He was captured as a baby in Equatorial Guinea, where a local poacher killed his entire family and then sold him to an anthropologist from Barcelona, who placed the baby in the zoo (Snowflake (gorilla). I saw him in the Barcelona zoo in the late 80s, when he was a magnificent full grown male.

I assume that his original family accepted him, because he was in good health when captured, and he was already about 3-4 years old when captured. You can see him here shortly after his arrival at the zoo.

He had three mates in the zoo with whom he had babies, he has several surviving children and grand children, none of them albino. So he had a family of his own, and there were No acceptance problems. He sadly died of skin cancer in 2003, a condition probably resulting from his oculocutaneous albinism. His DNA was sequenced and the mutation identified. He was the result of inbreeding, and he was the product of mating between an uncle and a niece (Snowflake the Albino Gorilla Was Inbred, Study Finds). It is the first documented case of inbreeding in Western lowland gorillas.

It is sad that he had to live his entire life in a zoo, even though he probably lived longer in the zoo than he would have in the wild.
