'Beyond rare' all-white alligator born in Florida. She may be 1 of 8 in the world.

More than 35 years after a rare nest of white alligators was discovered in a Louisiana swamp … a star is born!

A leucistic all-white alligator was born this summer at Gatorland, the alligator park in Orlando, Florida, said in a news release Thursday.

Leucistic alligators are the rarest genetic variation of the alligator with white coloration, patches of normal pigmentation and blue eyes, the release said. They differ from albino alligators, which have complete loss of pigmentation and pink eyes.

The all-white female was born in August along with a brother gator with normal coloring. Gatorland's veterinary staff said they both received clean bills of health, though the all-white female will be sensitive to the sun.

Leucistic alligator baby makes 8 known in the world

In a Gatorland YouTube video, CEO and president Mark McHugh, said there are only seven other known leucistic alligators in the world, and three of them are at Gatorland.

The new girl was born to a normal-colored mom that carried the recessive gene and a leucistic dad. The release said it is the first leucistic alligator born in human care.

"This is beyond 'rare,' it is absolutely extraordinary!” McHugh said in the news release. "These are incredibly special animals in the reptile world, and we are being very careful with their safety and security. We plan to have them on display early next year so guests can see them, learn about them, and fall in love with them like we have."

Help name the rare gator and her brother

Gatorland is asking for the public's help in naming the special gator and her brother. The comments on the Facebook post show some creative ideas:

• Pearl and Emerald
• Barbie and Ken
• Elsa and Olaf
• Grits and Gumbo
