Im not crazy, in my 8 years working on a golf course i have never seen a brown squirrel with a pure white tail

. This year we have 5 baby squirrels with white tails. They have brown bodies but there tail has no color, just pure white. (albino tail). I tryed to look up this odd creature on the web but came up with nothing. If anyone knows what the name of this type of squirrel is or a website that has any info i would be greatful!

I live in South East Michigan and im confused with this funny looking squirrel.
im going to try to bring my digital camera to work to get a picture before the hawks get them.

I've seen lots of all black brown squirrels, but never any with white tails. It must be a genetic anomoly. Their white tails will make them easy prey for hawks, then you won't see them any more. Take a picture.

Hmmm....White-Tailed Squirrels...sounds like a new MA squad name to me. Kill 'em while you got the chance.

Maybe it is evolution trying to make them look like golf balls...

Perhaps the squirrels are French...

Maybe they are Hybreds..part Squirrel, part Skunk....get closer to them to see if they have a "Funked" smell about them.

are the related to the blue-hair squirrels abundant in Florida ?

Perhaps its just a very large chipmunk?
