Jon,Whilst going through some very old archive photographs on a CD I came across this. I recall taking it from distance on an old camera (pre-digital days) and it's a famed 'white squirrel' from Pevensey in Eastbourne.
I saw it with my own eyes and almost couldn't believe it.
Anyway - it's unusual for sure.

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

On a more prosaic note, unusually coloured rabbits are actually quite common; I have twice seen an almost black specimen who lives up on the canal side east of Burnley; I have photos of another one near the ruins of the prehistoric village of Skara Brae (inspiration for Tolkein's hobbit houses).
There is also a superstition amongst shooters, at least in Scotland, that it is unlucky to shoot a black rabbit, equating the black colour to the robes of a clergyman.
