Albino Squirrel Found In Skowhegan

What a rare treat.  April Plourde, from Skowhegan, recently spotted an albino squirrel in her backyard.  

What makes a squirrel albino? According to Mother Nature Network:

a congenital disorder characterized by little or no production of melanin. This lack of melanin makes the albino animal’s eyes appear pink or red, the color of its blood vessels.
