Have you ever seen a white squirrel? Snow white; not grey?

Many times. There is a town near me that is full of them.


People have caught some and tried to re-locate them, but they die every time they try that, so now it is against the law to catch them.


The Police cars in that town have a picture of a white squirrel on the side.


People all over town feed them and many of them are quite gentle.





There are about 200 of them in this small town and there are only 4 communities in the US that have them, I think!





These will tell you more: (I think there is a picture on one of these sites)

there are actual real white squirrels -- no, they are not albinos, they have black eyes -- in Brevard, North Carolina.

Ive Seen A All-Black Squriel. Ill Put A Pic. In Soon
yes....
i have a pet albino squirrel so i see one every day
Yea.
I have heard of one area which has white ( not albino ) squirrels. If your home is in this area, then you should be seeing many of them.





Otherwise it is probably an albino , which is very rare. You are very lucky in any event!
What you saw was an albino squirrel. Albino animals are very rare and have a different color (usually white with reddish eyes) than normal animals. They also have a hard time surviving in the wild because they can't hide themselves well from predators. I actually saw an albino squirrel once in a park not far from my home.
I don't remember if they actually showed pictures of them on the local news, but I remember a news story about them.
