British photographer Andrew bull Fulton photographed a rare white squirrel in Marbury National Park in Cheshire, the Daily Mail reported on October 25. Except for the black eyes, the other parts of the squirrel are white. This kind of squirrel is affected by the albino gene, resulting in gene variation and discoloration, which is extremely rare in British wild animals. His eyes are still black and there is no problem with vision.
Fulton was very lucky, he said frankly: 'this kind of squirrel is white without albinism, which is very special. This is the first time I see a white squirrel, I hope not the last time. '
There are more than five million grey squirrels in the UK, but wildlife experts estimate that less than one in one million bears the albino gene.
