Eastern Gray squirrel (leucistic)

These white squirrels are common to the western nc and eastern sc areas...particularly brevard, cashiers, sapphire.

It had black eyes but no stripes... Pure white!

It's hard to tell in the photos. What color were the eyes? A true albino would have pink eyes. The Eastern Gray Squirrel does have a white variation that can occur as white with dark eyes, or white with dark eyes and some darker fur on the head and stripe on the back. There are also albino populations, though albino animals can occur anywhere. Cool find!
