The White Crow Y Fran Wen

Powys
Wales Powys
Cymru

This carrion crow’s (corvus corone) remarkable white colouring may be the result of leucism, a condition which affects skin pigmentation in animals. Alternatively, the paleness of its beak might suggest that this is a rare albino crow. This taxidermy was created by John Shaw in the late 19th century. Mae’n bosibl bod lliw rhyfeddol y fran dyddyn (corvus corone) hon yn ganlyniad i liwcistiaeth, cyflwr sy’n effeithio ar liw croen anifeiliaid. Fel arall, mae ei phig gwelw yn awgrymu ei bod yn fath o fran albino brin. Crëwyd y tacsidermi hwn ar ddiwedd y 19eg ganrif gan John Shaw.
