Discovery of a new squirrel (white squirrel)

White squirrels (undescribed species)were filmed in their habitat for the first on a video. Only found in one small island in the Philippines, Endangered Species International assesed its status and concervation priorities.

those seen at the fort bonifacio area are introduced grey squirrel species, not endemic. but we do have different species of endemic squirrels mostly in the visayas & mindanao. i have also seen a couple of squirrels in tanay rizal, larger than the ones in the fort area. they were dark brown (almost black) with some light colorings on their backs tail edges.

try asking people in the provinces, hunters mostly & you'll be surprised of the number of unknown (in the scientific world) creatures on land & in the sea we have in the Philippines. an example would be a fish that looks like a piece of torn mottled sea grass that lays on the sand swaying like a, well, a real torn piece of sea grass. i'm not kidding.

Uh... white squirrels are found all over the U.S. Not "common" but not exceedingly rare.

Endangered? They recently appeared in Dana Point, Harbor in California in 2013.

[@VentiVonOsterreich]

Are there squirrels in the NCR? :o

[@jawoonchae]

cute!!!!

[@DeeTimmyfan]

Isn't that a Finlayson's squirrel (Callosciurus finlaysoni)?

[@panamahred1954]

Might be your camera but he appears to have a yellowish tint. You want truly white? Visit anywhere within a 30 mile radius of Brevard, NC.They are NOT albino - just white fur with normal eye and nose coloration. I usually have 20 to 30 visit my back yard regularly.

[@cre8ivmind]

Cool! What's the scientific name? I would guess it's a species of Sundasciurus.

[@brand3981]

it's not a species we have at least 3 near me in maryland they are eastern grey squirrels that are albino or luecistic

[@lopezryanjoshua1170]

Kaka discover lang inuubos na sila agad 😳😳😳

[@timclassic]

Not albino. White squirells without red eyes are more rarethan those with red. Period.
