Yes this IS a nice topic!
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, has "Albie" the albino squirrel. He's sort of their unofficial mascot. He runs around campus terrorizing the students. He can be kind of aggressive when he wants to eat. (I think he gets all the attention, so he expects it) There's a tiny little rendition of Albie the squirrel on our daughter's class ring.
AND, at the park across from the White House (near where the guy lives in the plastic tent) there's another albino squirrel, who is also pretty aggressive when he wants to be fed. I thought albino squirrels were very rare, but they seem to crop up in unexpected places!
In our backyard here in Utah we have Yakky squirrels. I have no idea what their real name is, but are they ever LOUD!
(According to the Division of Wildlife Resources there are over 12 kinds of squirrels here, but they all look alike to me)
Last summer we were visited by a mommy raccoon and 3 babies, and one of the babies was light tan with a whitish mask and stripes. Do you think it was an albino raccoon?
