Here’s something I’ve never seen before — white squirrels. Apparently there’s a community of them out in Essex, Ontario, which is about 25 minutes south of Windsor. I’ve been there lots of times but I’ve never seen one.

The technical term for it is Leucism(a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin) although plenty of people just call them albino squirrels.
