This one was taken by my lovely girlfriend

This isn't from this year - no snow yet! - but, it seemed a fitting follow-up to the first pic I posted.

Sorry about the poor picture quiality, but this was well past a reasonable zoom level for my phone.

Apparently, bout 1 in 100k squirrels are born with albinism, which given there are millions of squirrels in the UK alone means there are likely tens of them in the country at any one time. Saw this one in the same park a few times a few years back.

Gotta love hanging out with the squirrels on McGill campus

Not my tree or photo - crosspost.

I love how the fur on their tail goes from grey to black to white

(Using this post to test my new instance. Hope it works!)

The squirrels around here aren't very friendly, but they are an unusual colour. There's a large black squirrel population around North Hertfordshire, UK. This one was in Letchworth Garden City.
