Eastern Grey Squirrel (albinos)

Sciurus carolinensis

Description:

We spotted this rare albinos "grey" squirrel in one of Cape Town's city park.

Habitat:

The eastern grey squirrel has been introduced in Cape Town, South Africa. It lives primarily in urban areas as it is unable to adapt to the fynbos vegetation from that area.
