White Squirrels In Your Yard: Leucism And Albinism In Squirrels

If you’ve ever noticed both gray and white squirrels in your neighborhood or a local park, you have witnessed an interesting natural phenomenon. The light coloring makes these squirrels more vulnerable to predators, which is why they are rare. Consider yourself lucky if you see one. What Causes White Squirrels? The explanation for most cases of white fur is leucism in squirrels. Leucism is a genetic trait in which a recessive allele results in a reduction of pigment. You can see leucism in many types of wild animals, including squirrels. Whether you’re seeing white fox squirrels or white gray squirrels may be hard to tell. With their more typical coloring, it’s easy to identify the yellowish belly of the fox and the white belly of the gray squirrel. Either one may have white pups.

Starting A Pollinator Garden

Welcome to our series of videos exploring how we can support butterfly migration by planting fueling stations that will support them on their incredible journey. When planting a new pollinator garden, there are a few key factors to take into consideration. One is light. To get a sense for how much light your garden receives, go out on a sunny day and take a picture at 9, noon, and 3. Follow the sun, and see where it goes throughout the day. Some parts of your garden may get full sun, while others may get partial or even full shade. A lot of native pollinator plants are very adaptable, and can tolerate different levels of shade. Some, however, thrive in full sun, so you should make sure to plant accordingly. Another important thing to look into is soil. If you’re growing native plants, they should already be well-suited to the type […] The post Starting A Pollinator Garden appeared first on Gardening Know How .
