Hunter films albino porcupine in Maine woods

Published in Weird News
(UPI) A Maine hunter shot video rather than bullets when he came across an unusual creature in the woods -- an albino porcupine.
Greg Strand said he was in the Windham woods when he heard something approaching from the direction of some nearby trees.
Strand said he ducked out of site and recorded video when he realized the sound was an all-white porcupine walking with a dark-colored comrade.
Biologists estimate that one in 10,000 porcupines are born albino, meaning they lack pigment in their skin and hair.
