We Have Had Black Squirrels, Grey Squirrels, Albino Squirrels And Now Purple Squirrels!

this chap lives near Meoncross School in Stubbington, Hampshire, Dr Mike Edwards, an English teacher at the school, first spotted the squirrel outside his classroom window. He said: 'I was sitting in my classroom and looked out the window and saw it sitting on the fence. I had to do a double take. The school has contacted animal expert Bill Oddie for his views 'Since then it's been a bit of a regular at the school - everyone's seen it. 'We thought it might have been paint or something but then when you look at it up close, it's an all-over coat, not in patches like you'd expect if it had been near some paint. 'Its fur actually looks purple all the way through. It's an absolute mystery.' I wonder what other colours squirrels are available in?

I can beat that purple squirrel without problem Stan: Check out the pink cow that lives behind Epril's parent's house in Jasaan.
