Hurray! We Have a New Albino Baby!

We just noticed this little one last night. It was getting pretty late in the day and he was playing in the shaded part of the yard. I took some shots anyway, just out of excitement! We had two grown albinos here and this spring we had looked and looked for one of them and hadn't seen it. Last fall I took some pictures of the girl albino squirrel and she was really looking like an old girl. We had a boy and girl albino here. If they are like birds they don't mate together to get an albino baby. Rather, an albino mates with a normal grey that has an albino gene in it and then the chances are slim but you can get an albino. This little one has come along just in time to make up for the loss of the adult. I hope he stays safe and grows very old. We already love him/her. I'll have to get more pictures!!!
