We have ceded our backyard to the mutant half-black, half-white, pinked-eyed possum who lives there. Ugghhh, as if possums are not already creepy! I blame the pesticides the local golf course uses to keep their greens weeds free.

Is this a blinding white poll?

"I will allow it"????

Where's the "Squee!!!" option for all us right-thinking people? Limited poll options, I condemn thee.

Not enough detail in the photos to make an educated guess as to whether the squirrel(s) are albino, hypomelanistic, or leucistic.

But if albino, the most common form is a recessive mutation in an enzyme for the synthesis of melanin. Recessive means that if two animals of a pair are of normal appearance but one is a carrier of the mutation and the other is not, all their offspring will be of normal appearance but some will be carriers (one copy of the mutant gene); if a pair appear normal but both are carriers, 25% of offspring will be non-carriers, 50% will be carriers, and 25% will be albino; if a pair consists of one carrier and one albino, 50% will be carriers and 50% albino; and finally, two albinos in a pair can only produce albino offspring because each has two copies of the mutant gene. (All the foregoing predictions are statistically speaking, i.e., averages over a large number of offspring; and heterosexual pairings or god-enabled gay pairings, obvs.)

You should tweet this post to the Holmes family.

They are cute. You are too sensitive.

Council Bluffs, Iowa has shitloads of black squirrels.

I think they even have a weird law on the books about it being illegal to harass or agitate them.

Fucking Iowa, man.

My grandparents had white squirrels in their yard in Minneapolis for years. My grandma would feed them peanut butter from the end of a wooden clothes pin.

Tree rats serve absolutely no purpose and don't deserve to live.
Yes, I confess to being biased because the little bastards decimated my gladiola beds - then had the gall to leave one final bulb half chewed in the middle of my patio.
So, to me, doesn't matter what color they are, they have no reason to live.

Please wait...
