I was talking to a fellow resident today, who happened to mentioned that Wrightwood used to have albino squirrels. A plague hit in the early 70's and wiped out the squirrel population. Apparently, the squirrel population has never been the same.

Any pictures of this? Any info? VERY INTERESTING!

WOW! Thanks for the story

So there was only 2 known albino squirrels?. How devastating was the plague?

Wow, the picture of the albino squirrel is really cute, I have never seen a photo of one but heard the story years ago.

Am I imagining things, or isn't there a picture of one in the Wrightwood museum??

I could be getting the little museums I visit confused....

Did the plague eradication project many years ago have anything to do with the decimation of the squirrel population?
