We documented the first case of albinism for Dasyprocta fuliginosa, based on an individual that we recorded near San Pablo de Kantensiya, in the province of Sucumbíos, Ecuador. In this report, we also include information on the perspective with regards to this finding of the Siekopai indigenous people, ancestral inhabitants of the sector.
