a different color

We only have this one guy who visits us occasionally, otherwise we have plenty of the normal colored squirrels around. Picture was taken through a screen window so quality is poor,he just won't let you walk up to him outside!

Re: a different color

A town near me (Keosauqua) has yellow/blonde ones and another town has black. I think I'll try to snap those and put them here, it'd be neat to compare. I'm sure he has to be extra skittish or he'd have been catfood long ago.

Re: a different color

Neat! Seems like every species has an albino in the closet somewhere. Wonder what the commonality is? I also wonder if "commonality" is a word?? I'm not using spellcheck 'cause I don't want to delete it, I kinda like it.

Re: a different color

The pure white ones are Luecistic. It is a mutation, obviously resessive. They have pure white fur, not yellowish, and black or blue eyes, not pink. Many animals will have blue eyes when luecistic. I saw a white squirrel in Mass. a few years ago, running across a lawn. There was one in the local paper here recently, just like the one posted. I have seen albino raccoon both alive and run over. Mutants do come out when the brothers and sister squirrels get together if they carry the gene!
