Well I’m not sure about that, but that’s a good point…
Polar bears have translucent hair that looks white, and black skin. Looks like black squirrels have black skin. So maybe it depends if this white squirrel still has black skin underneath 🤷♀️ I’m going to tell myself that the lil guy will be fine because that’s a happier ending 😅
Hey, you/your sister should submit a report of this squirrel spotting!

There’s an effort to map where white squirrels are showing up in North America. We did some research after seeing one in our neighborhood a few years back - like this one, ours wasn’t albino, which you can differentiate because squirrels with albinism have red eyes.
Edit: this lil guy is probably better off in the snow than otherwise, better camouflage! 😍
All the people who poses reading comprehension skills in this thread
Lol yep tell me more about your reading comprehension skills
Jesus Christ the uninformed comments in this thread. Are you seriously saying soap is bad?
You do understand the benefit of removing viruses from your hands, right?
Washing with soap and water is one of the key public health practices that can significantly slow the rate of a pandemic and limit the number of infections, preventing a disastrous overburdening of hospitals and clinics. Source
I can only hope you were only trying to reference scalp care rather than the benefits of soap as a whole.
But either way you’re wrong.
Ooh cool! So just the other day, my husband saw a hawk grab a grey squirrel. And a squirrel buddy came over and attacked the hawk and rescued the first squirrel!! We’ve never seen or heard of anything like that before. These were grey squirrels.
Maybe squirrels are a lot more roughty toughty than I’ve been giving them credit for! 😁
