the white squirrels of Trinity-Bellwoods, but they are well documented. You can google it. They even have a street, White Squirrel Way, and a café named after them.

I think it is their rareity which makes them so fascinating to people. These squirrels have fans, like other pockets of white squirrels in other places. 🧵3/3
