White Squirrels of Brevard, North Carolina

The sisters heard about the white squirrels of Brevard. In 1949, a carnival truck overturned near Madison, Florida and a few white (not albinos as they have dark eyes) squirrels escaped. A pair was caught and given to someone in Brevard. When one of the pair escaped, the person decided to let the other one go. The squirrels began to muliply and thrive in this lovely town. They are now protected by a city ordinance. The sisters thought they had found one but it was just a toy!
