White Squirrel Cloudberry Montreal IMG 20211014 190448

White Squirrel Cloudberry Montreal IMG 20211014 190448
A bit of an oddity. This is a pure white squirrel in the grounds of McGill University in Montreal. A little Googling and it turns out he/she is known on the campus and is called Cloudberry. The photo is not the best quality, it was taken by cell phone from quite a distance but it was so unusual (at least to me) that I decided to post it anyway. Cloudberry behaved like any other squirrel, was very active and seemed undisturbed by its unusual coloration.

(PS. I posted this earlier today but accidently deleted the original post, this is the second upload, hope that doesn't mess anything up).

I commented on a white squirrel a few days ago; maybe it was yours. White squirrels are an easier catch for predators. There was one in one of our trees here a year or so ago, but it disappeared fairly soon after we first saw it.

Hi Ronald, Yes, sorry about that. I tried to edit the text on the first post and deleted the whole thing by mistake, and once it's gone, it's gone. A classic "whoops" moment.
I agree, it must be much more visible to predators, although living downtown perhaps its biggest danger is the traffic. We had a cat living next door we nick named "Natural Born killer" because she spent a good part of her time trying to bump off the local squirrel population, and I've seen a fox take a squirrel, so I guess they have plenty of threats to keep them on the alert.
