Thought this was cool and would share. Y’all ever seen one of these? From what I’ve read it’s either a gray squirrel with a recessive pigmentation gene or albino. Can’t really tell what color her eyes though are.

Neat. I've only seen one mounts at a truck stop in Lebeau yrs ago.

Now all of the other squirrels have someone to blame if there is any kind of problem or there is something they don't like.

Seriously though... Cool photo.

The other squirrels really don’t like her, which I’m sure it looks like a white hi-lighter running around on the ground to a hawk.

There use to be a bunch of them at the stark center in orange Texas. When I was a kid I'd go squirrel huntin with my paw. When we would pass by there I'd beg him to let me shoot one.

Yeah if I were hunting I’d shoot it in a heartbeat. I ain’t shooting my daddy’s “pet” on Father’s Day weekend nonetheless.
