To drag this thread back from colour-blindness to the original posting........White skunks do crop up from time to time. The only live (as opposed to roadill) one I have seen was nearly all white (and hanging round a dumpster in Revere, MA). Said friends in Hyannis were pestered by a visiting white skunk, which they said was quite a startling sight at night, through the patio doors. In the end they got pest control to remove it. A few weeks later a neighbour of theirs was complaining that the white skunk that he had been feeding (!) had mysteriously disappeared.
