'Rare Critter' Spotted Climbing Trees At Colorado State Park, Video Shows

The largest population of white squirrels is in Brevard, North Carolina, after a couple received them as gifts in 1949, according to The Associated Press. The squirrels escaped and started breeding, leading to 1 in 3 squirrels in the city being white, the news outlet reported. In Colorado, however, a white squirrel isn't something people see regularly, wildlife officials said. Leucism is a recessive genetic trait and a rare sight to see, officials said.
