A Rare Sighting in Nature

A Rare Sighting in Nature, what a surprise I found the other day. I was out wandering around, something I do often and I looked over at my feeder and there in the grass is this tiny little all white squirrel.

I did some research and it says that white squirrels are rare and if they have black eyes, it is do to pigmentation for the fur to be white. But it says most white squirrels come from the gray squirrel species.

But I do not think this is a gray squirrel, I believe it is a red squirrel.

Here is a photo of a red squirrel next to the white one and they are about the same size.

Where as this photo below is a gray squirrel and notice how much bigger the ears are.
