Film footage of white meerkat

Here's some super 8 film footage I took of a meerkat with white fur. Very unusual. I wonder if it could be an albino but I don't recall seeing red / pink eyes. The clip is very short.

Yea I'm really intrigued by this myself. I wonder how rare that colour form is.

Edit: I just did some googling and there's a bit of information online about this white meerkat which I filmed at the Adelaide Zoo in South Australia. Apparently, she was born with normal colours but her fur changed to white in 2012 due to a rare condition.
