Albino squirrel. A rare albino squirrel sits on a tree in Sussex. Picture date: Saturday January 23, 2021. The Forestry Commission said squirrels are born albino and the condition is caused by a rare gene inherited from the parents. The gene is not dominant, meaning that a white squirrel can have grey siblings. Their white fur makes them more vulnerable to attack from predators as they have no natural camouflage.
