Discovery of a new squirrel (white squirrel)

[JackANDJude]

It looks albino, just without red eyes. Very cute, nonetheless.

sum1's pet ?

[icebox1987ify]

there are no grey squirrels in the island and those white squirrels are definitely not albinos. its a totally different species from the common grey squirrel in north america.

[brand3981]

it's not a species we have at least 3 near me in maryland they are eastern grey squirrels that are albino or luecistic

[64beginnings]

OMG!!! I am a Biology graduate of the Philippines and I have not seen nor heard of squirrels in the Philippines. And now we have white ones!!!

[star02light02]

actually its very rare to see some squirrels in the philippines... thats why this is wonderful

[larzie0121]

Come to Olney, IL.. We have a ton of them..

[brand3981]

it's not a new species just like some common gray squirrels will be black SOME will be white

[thecherrimtree12]

@brand3981 How?!

[ren7772]

@rubixspoly locals knew about it for ages, only new to science.

[cre8ivmind]

Cool! What's the scientific name? I would guess it's a species of Sundasciurus.

[timclassic]

Not albino. White squirells without red eyes are more rarethan those with red. Period.

[Pudekz51790]

if you notice it does not move like usual squirrels. so i think its preaty new and if u notice, squirrels are mostly found in cold places or having a low temperature places. philippines is a very hot for most

[TimmyGal]

Isn't that a Finlayson's squirrel (Callosciurus finlaysoni)?

[carolaelle]

You are so stupid; its an albinos, like in every other species of animals!

[kayangkayanatinto]

@carolaelle thtas not an albino albino squirells eyes are red

[4Dmetricology]

@carolaelle

and you are smart? lol!

[xXSquirrelCrazyXx]

Any albino animal has pink eyes. That squirrel doesn't have pink eyes.

[ebadvocate]

Also famous in Exeter, Ontario - they are all over Exeter.

[rankincat]

Uh... white squirrels are found all over the U.S.  Not "common" but not exceedingly rare.

[UnbreakableSpirit]

Only Phillippenes? Just saw one earlier this morning here in Allentown, PA (USA)

[akoanani]

Naku nasa Pinas na naman........Iba talaga ang mga hayop sa atin,,,,

[ISmiLeZ]

[MCRluvrMOM]

White squirrels have been in Olney, Illinois for about 100 years now. There is one of our squirrels on display in the Smithsonian Institute.

[richjef]

I have personally seen a "white Squerl" in

Milford Ontario Canada over 10 years ago so to me this is not a new discovery, just a different place

[Blueknightex]

So cute ! I didn't know that there were squirrels in our country!

[delta888431]

these squirrels are in a small town in missouri called marionville they used to be the only place in usa to find them but people trapped them and let them loose in there towns its a 2ooo. dollar fine to run over one one if caught.

[ColorMeVicious]

[buckhuck40]
