Albino squirrel

A woman in England looked out and saw two white squirrels frolicking in her garden. This type of care is very rare colored feathers.

The pair of albino squirrels stands out more strongly than the plants thanks to their fluffy white coat color. However, that particular coat also helps predators like foxes, wolves, and cats find out easily. Perhaps so they go together to increase safety.

Josie Atkins, 74, and living in the outskirts of Wallington, he said he initially saw only a squirrel with pink eyes in the garden. Then another one jumped over the fence to the garden and the two kids toyed with each other.

" I feel lucky to see two squirrels. I love all the animals visiting the garden, especially the white squirrels like this. Not everyone has the opportunity to admire them ," he said.

Atkins told the Telegraph that two white squirrels also frolic with other gray squirrels.

For every 100,000 squirrels, there is only one albino. The Telegraph said that it was possible that the two squirrels in Atkins' garden would live in a family.

According to scientists, albino squirrels inherit some genes that cause melanin deficiency (pigmentation that makes up skin and fur) from parents. So their bodies are not colored. Albino squirrels face more dangers because of their white coat color. Only when snow falls in winter do they feel the advantage of the coat. Experts say that new cities are where albino squirrels have a better chance of survival than forests or grasslands.
