Have you seen a white squirrel?

Most squirrels are gray or red, an adaptation that allows them to blend in to the surrounding vegetation. This is a case of classic natural selection, the driving force behind evolutionary change. The trait for being white is a genetic anomaly that is usually weeded out because they are so quickly seen by predators. However, some places have seen a growing population of white squirrels.
Keep your eyes open because there are lots of places where you can find this rare squirrel variety. Scientists have created a map where visitors that have seen a white squirrel can map it. Join this community of white squirrel enthusiasts to help scientists locate and study these rare animals!
