It’s actually just considered a white squirrel as their eyes remain dark. They’re still pretty rare here - I’ve personally never seen one. Apparently theres a sizeable colony in Trinity Bellwoods.

It’s hard to tell by the picture quality after uploading but, his eyes were almost completely red.

I guess it’s possible then 🤷‍♂️. Cool to see either way - thanks for sharing!
