1. piqued my interest, found that there are really white squirrels

There are some white squirrels in Florida and North Carolina.

They have dark eyes and sometimes some gray on their spine.

They really are pretty. Didn't know they existed.

These are not albinos though. The albino squirrels have pink eyes.
