No, but we used to have a half tame albino squirrel living in our yard.

Default Ever see........

While fishing in northern Wisconsin, I saw an albino ferret that was cool to watch darting in/out of the rocky shoreline.

When I was a kid, we had an albino blue jay in our yard for days. His black coloring was perfect, but everything that should have been blue was stark white.

Last time I filled up with petrol - the lady in front of me in the pay queue was an albino black person. She was stunningly beautiful.

I have no photos. Naturally.

There is an albino doe that I've sighted a couple of times along the Reedy Fork mountain biking trail in Greensboro, NC.

Albino animals are rare. In animal language, "albino" translates to "Eat me first"

Just the opposite - there's a small colony of jet-black squirrels not too far from where I live; someone who almost got bitten trying to feed one told me they can be nasty little buggers - probably something in their collective unconscious - and it's best to keep your distance...

I've seen an albino gator...spooky. And every once in a while we'll spot an albino dolphin.

Black squirrels are native to Canada - see them in Ottawa all the time.

But not to NYC - and this crew has an urban attitude to boot...

We have both the grey and the black squirrels here in B.C. They are quite mellow here, not sure why.
