White Squirrel of Brevard by cdonohoue

White Squirrel of Brevard

These guys are famous in Brevard, NC. They have a festival for them and a guy at the university that studies them. The thinking now, as their squirrel population is about 50/50, is that it is not a recessive gene. We searched and searched for one and gave up and were heading back to the expressway when we found this guy in somebody's front yard.
Nice shot of the white squirrel.

Fascinating. I've never seen one before. Almost looks like an albino.

They aren't albino. That is what I thought too but a big part of the local population.

@swguevin He was a catch. We searched for one of them.
@marlboromaam Thanks Maggie. I didn't think of a mouse when I was actually seeing the squirrel but I sure did viewing the photo.
@greekdaniel Thanks Daniel.

I've never seen a white squirrel, but the town in which daughter #3 goes to college is known for their black squirrels.

Cool! I've never seen a white squirrel, but we have black, gray and red squirrels. The black and gray ones are actually the same species, only different colours. The red ones are much smaller, faster and feistier!
