Albino squirrel

as opposed to most americans, i like squirrels. they are cute!! even though sometimes they literally beg for food... we dont have squirrels in the netherlands, so to me its a bit special, i guess...
and the above one is very special, its white!! although, when it snowed i could see it was not that white... haha... it roams around a specific spot (which i ofcourse only know because hes the only white one), where i walk by every day when going to the lab. and yesterday i finally had my camera to take a picture! unfortunately, he was high up in a tree, but definitely white...
googling white squirrels led me to a site where they list "white squirrel sightings". apparently they are common in a few areas in the us.....in boston so far i saw only this one, and always at the same location....

Of course there are squirrels in the netherlands only not so much in the big cities. But that beside what a cute little animal. Thanks for showing
