STAFF at an animal rescue centre are going nuts over their latest arrival - a rare albino squirrel.
The five-week-old animal beat odds of 100,000-to-one to be born completely albino, experts said yesterday.
The squirrel, which is called Persil, was found when it was knocked out of its nest by a football kicked into a tree. The squirrel had a brother, which has been named Daz, despite being silver grey.
A passer-by found the pair in Peckham, south-east London, and took them to the London Wildcare Centre in Wallington, Surrey.
