Albino squirrel gets in on James Center Illumination action
No word on whether this was an official addition to the James Center.
One theory is he was attracted to those also reflecting a mixture of the frequencies of all the colors of the visible spectrum. Another theory (strictly my own) is that the James Center felt the normal colored squirrels didn’t have enough pizzaz and have been secretly spray painting squirrels in an underground lab.

I’ve seen this squirrel downtown a couple of times. I don’t think it has red or blue eyes (I’m not 100% so correct me if I’m wrong) which makes it a white morph and not an albino which, if that is the case, is even cooler because that means a greater potential there will be more of them cavorting with the deer in the future.
This is so cool! I might have to go down there and see if I can spot it.
