Snapshot: Albino Squirrel! near Prospect Hill
Thomas Vitale submitted these pictures with this note: “Please find attached some photos of a white squirrel taken near Prospect Hill School recently. A white squirrel is a rare genetic anomaly. I saw one in Pelham about five years ago, but until recently, I haven’t seen one since then.”

1 in every 10,000 squirrels is an albino. and there are at least three living in that area near Prospect Hill. they are, no doubt, descendants of the ones Thomas Vitale saw years ago. interestingly, black squirrels are equally as rare, and we seem to have a plethora of them.
