My Daily Encounters with Elva the Albino Squirrel

Occurred on June 4, 2023 / Cape Town, South Africa

Info from Licensor: "I am part of an organization that rescues and rehabilitates squirrels. When we find albino grey squirrels, I get to release them on the Rondebosch Boys' High School campus where I work and live. Because they are so rare, I give them a soft release and watch over them. My latest release is called Elva because she is the eleventh albino. She is very friendly and comes to visit me every morning for treats. She sits on my desk in the art room waiting. Once she's full, she will ask for more to bury outside or in the art room. She lets me brush her and she loves to sit on my shoulder. She likes to jump onto the students in my class, which is my way of educating them on being kind and gentle with them."
