Rare Albino Raccoon Captured in Tennessee

A wildlife trapping team got more than they bargained for when they captured a rare albino raccoon while on a call to remove some raccoons from a house in Collierville, Tennessee.

David Parrish, co-owner of Germantown-based Alpha Wildlife, said his staff caught the albino raccoon after a couple of days.

Matthew Caldwell, also of Alpha Wildlife, was quoted as saying that just one in 750,000 raccoons are albino.
