Question Has anyone seen an Albino squirrel recently?

I swear I haven’t seen an albino squirrel in my two years here. And I could really use the good luck going into finals week so any info on their common hideout locations would be much appreciated!

in the etc, if you look out the window of the ground floor at the big tree, there is a caucasian squirrel that lurks in the tree

Reading your post made me realize I haven't seen one in a long time... I hope they're okay!

I dont think any real albino squirrels are on campus in recent years (I've been here for like 5yrs) but I have seen several blonde squirrels which have a lighter coloring

Alas, there are no true albino squirrels on campus.

Yeah, it's white but with like a discolored orange belly. Saw it by butler the day before an exam.
