Cream-colored squirrels are another rare and eye-catching variation, often seen as a result of leucism. Their pale, almost golden-white fur sets them apart from other squirrels and adds an unusual charm to their appearance. Unlike albinism, which also affects eye color, leucistic squirrels retain dark or normal eye pigmentation, giving them a slightly softer look.

These squirrels are typically found in small, isolated populations and share the same habits as their more common relatives, such as burying food caches and climbing trees with ease. Their rarity and unique beauty make them a beloved sight for wildlife watchers and an intriguing subject for researchers studying genetic mutations in wildlife.
