I believe the albino alligator born in the wild would have a hard time surviving. Due to it being white, the alligator would be camouflaged and therefore easier to spot. This causes a number of troubles, including being unable to hunt very well.

Answer:

Lower survival chances would make more likely to be killed by its predators.

Explanation:

Albino alligators are found in habitats such as swamps, marshes and rivers where they can hide themselves. If an albino alligator was born in wild, it would have lower chances of survival as it would not be able to hide its albino body in dark background of wild regions. Predators would find it easily and would kill it.
