Found Whitey the albino squirrel today!

I think that's what he's called... though this might be Whitey 2... as the first albino squirrel was killed by a hawk last quarter.

So, Whitey 2:

I need to work on WB when I get home, but what'cha think?

he looks like a bushy rat! but it is very odd to see a squirrel active in January...

The Squirrels are still active this time of year at OSU, even though there aren't as many running around with their heads chopped off. Most have put up for the winter but there are still more out there begging for food from students or scavenging.

Nice pics. Hope you get more of the creatures on campus and post them here.

Thought all squirrels looked like bushy rats?

true.. They are cousins after all.. But the Albino looks more so than regular squirrels.

Saw you picture on the school paper today. I don't normally read the paper, not did I today, but I remember seeing the shot here first.

yeah, I can't believe that the stupid squirrel went on the front page... you'd think they'd have something more important for that.

LOL, you would think but he is an Icon on campus. You would be surprised how many people come just to see him as albino squirrels are rare. This campus has had at least one albino squirrel for over a decade to my understanding which could be wrong.
