Rare albino porcupine spotted in Maine

[Still Waters]

A rare albino porcupine lounging on the lawn of the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport is drawing national attention after the museum asked for help identifying the animal on Facebook.

True albino porcupines occur in about one of every 10,000 births, according to Missouri Department of Conservation researchers who work with porcupines.

The museum says the “white ball of fluff” was seen on the museum’s front lawn Tuesday, and visitors and volunteers initially believed the animal was a skunk from a distance.
