Rare Piebald Squirrel Spotted in Colorado

An incredibly rare and rather jaw-dropping piebald squirrel was recently spotted scampering along a tree in Colorado. Images of the wondrous creature, which can be seen below, were shared online by the state's Parks and Wildlife Department Twitter account on Wednesday morning. The squirrel's appearance, they explained, is the result of "a genetic mutation causing varying amounts of white hair. Some can be almost pure white while others carry just patches of white."
