Omo the baby albino squirrel was taken to Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital after being injured during recent Storm Ali which battered Britain. Hopefully, he will be released into the wild in the spring. Omo is believed to be one of only 25 albino squirrels in Britain. Albino animals lack melanin - a dark pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye - it is responsible for the tanning of skin when exposed to sunlight.
