Boston-area blogger Steve Garfield captured a white squirrel scampering around Jamaica Pond last month – and now the experts are weighing in! Take a look at Steve’s video first.
We know that squirrel didn’t just fall into a bucket of white paint – so we went looking for answers!
Here’s what Massachusetts wildlife biologist Tom French had to say:
Boston-area blogger extraordinare Steve Garfield managed to track down one of the cooler sights around Jamaica Pond. A white squirrel has made its home at the pond for a couple of years – and Steve was able to catch it on camera, and even somehow get it to pose! He sent us the link for his YouTube video – which you can see in HD by clicking here.
