Expert: Fabled white squirrel of Jamaica Plain likely an albino

State wildlife biologist considers video taken by Steve Garfield of the squirrel near Jamaica Pond, says it looks like a true albino squirrel, as opposed to being a squirrel with white fur (albinos have pink eyes; white-furred squirrels have dark eyes).

Did the squirrel also have red eyes?

If so, then it certainly is an albino.

Yup

The white squirrel I've seen at Jamaica Pond definitely has red eyes.
