White elephant (animal)
A white elephant (also albino elephant) is a rare kind of elephant, but not a distinct species. Although often depicted as snow white, their skin is typically a soft reddish-brown, turning a light pink when wet. They have fair eyelashes and toenails. The traditional "white elephant" is commonly misunderstood as being albino, but the Thai term, chang samkhan, translates as 'auspicious elephant', being "white" in terms of an aspect of purity. As of 2023, Myanmar had ten white elephants. The king of Thailand also keeps a number of white elephants, eleven of which were still alive as of 2016.
