Not your average backyard squirrel 👀🐿️ An albino squirrel was spotted on Winwood in Fayetteville. (COURTESY: Adam C. Davis) How do we know if this sqiurrel is actually albino? White (leucistic) squirrels have white fur and dark eyes because they still produce melanin, while albino squirrels lack melanin entirely and usually have red eyes, like this furry friend. White squirrels also tend to be larger than albino squirrels. Have you seen any albino critters in your backyard? Let us know below!
