White Squirrel at Base of Large Tree

A rare white squirrel, likely an Eastern Gray Squirrel with a genetic mutation causing leucism, is pictured at the base of a large tree. While not albino, its white fur makes it conspicuous against the natural environment. These squirrels are often found in urban and suburban areas, adapting to human presence and utilizing trees for shelter and food. The presence of such a unique animal highlights the biodiversity that can exist even in developed landscapes.
