The white squirrel is not a true albino because it retains a small amount of dark pigment in its fur and lacks red eyes. Rather, it is a leucistic white form of the common Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Populations of white squirrels exist in the Cashiers area, and east to Brevard and Hendersonville.
