OSU mourns loss of Whitey

An albino squirrel — who likes corn way too much.

So The Ohio State University’s beloved albino squirrel Whitey died today. A hawk ate it.

Too bad. Albino squirrels are easily trainable. Though they are a bit feisty. (The fact that they’re shunned by non-albinos must have something to do with it.) And they tend to gain a lot of muscle. I once trained an albino squirrel to get me the paper every morning. After about a month, the little guy was totally ripped.
