Amazing that they're a family of albinos! Hard to believe that they've been able to survive, but maybe they can blend in with the stones.

Funny, never seen an albino squirrel before but was canoeing on the Medway at Yalding a few weeks ago and spotted one, maybe they're a Kent thing!

Amazing! I've seen a lot of squirrels but never an albino.

Really nice shot! To be honest, the shot looks quite ordinary on this page, but the detail really shows when viewed in Flickr!

A very cool squirrel and a very nice image. Well done.

My word a White Otis…

Now there's something you don't see everyday! Maybe a cat got too close to the family and the trauma turned their hair white. And their eyes red. Or maybe not.

Thanks for posting one of Nature's rare anomalies.

It probably has the 'trouble' gene, regardless of where the white coat came from.

That's a weird one. And at a cemetery no less. I wouldn't trust it one bit.
