Don't know if this is the right place to post this! Fairly sure I saw an albino badger last night. According to Google they are very rare.

Just coming back from town, about 10:30, walking down a suburban SE London road, and I saw what looked like a light coloured cat at the side of the road. It stopped and watched me, and I noticed it had shorter legs than a cat and a long snout. Then it trotted across the road about 30 feet in front of me and into somebody's back garden! I could hear it's claws on the concrete rather than padding. After googling for pics I am 95% sure it was an albino badger!

Is there anybody I should call to "inform"?

I hadn't been drinking if that's what you mean, and Mrs.NCoT saw it too so definitely not a figment of my imagination! wink

'Twas a serious post, chaps. I understand that they're extremely rare so wondered if there was some group somewhere who would be interested.

Rare, but not unknown.
This one's not moving much though.:

It's great how they can get it to keep still like that.

My primary school teacher wrote a book about an albino badger.

Just googled it - "The White Badger" by Gary Cliffe.

Doesn't answer the question, though! wink

I think they are rather rare. They certainly were in 1978.

Hmmm, wheres my post gone.

Well I was saying we have an albino Squirrel around here,
I thought it might have been picked off a tree top by now, but its still here after a couple of years.

Also a pest control fella we know, has had light coloured moles turn up in his traps,
obviously the nature of their world means they are less than blonde but certainly far from the black they normally are
