Is there such a animal as a snow squirrel that has white fur instead of gray like the ones in the park?

There is a small town in Missouri called Marionville. It is known as the home of the white squirrels. They are not an albino squirrel, their eyes are not red. They have white fur. I know I use to live only 12 miles from there.Is there such a animal as a snow squirrel that has white fur instead of gray like the ones in the park?
Yes. They are rare in the wild for the same reason that all other albinos are rare (think visibility).


There are the albinos, which are grey squirrels with a mutation in melanocytes (pigment cells) that causes them to not be able to produce pigment in either the eyes or fur, which in squirrels makes their eyes red and fur white.


There is also an entire strain of squirrels, mostly on the eastern side of the US, that carries the gene that makes their fur white but their eyes remain black.


Neither are products of environmental adaptation (like the snow rabbit or the snow fox), but they are mutations at the cellular level passed on from squirrel to squirrel genetically. It's kind of amazing that they exist at all!Is there such a animal as a snow squirrel that has white fur instead of gray like the ones in the park?
Yes but they are very rare , I read that they were only 2 living in a park in new york or some place south.

Not really a snow squirrel....the common Grey squirrel will produce totally white squirrels on occasion.Gray squirrels are bushy tailed with a mixture of brown, black, and white fur which when viewed from a distance blend together to look gray. Their belly fur is white or light gray. Some gray squirrels are black, a color phase that can be common in some locales. The totally white squirrel is almost an albino recessive gene that sometimes occurs. That's it. it isn't a different species at all.
Yes but it is a Albino squirrels

Google Olney, Illinois.....It is the Home of the White Squirrel. Only place in the US where they live and are not albinos.
yes
Gray squirrels sometimes produce babies that are white, spotted, darker than normal, or lighter than normal. All these are mutations. Albinos are solid white animals with pink eyes. They occur due to a complete absence of pigment. Leucistic animals are genetically white animals with blue eyes. There are also squirrels with regular dark eyes and either solid white or cream, or even spotted, bodies. Those squirrels are also mutations, and the colors are actually what color they are genetically. Albinos are the only animals white due to an absence of pigmentation.
