JERSEY SHORE, Pa. (AP) – It’s probably not an undiscovered species, but it has some people talking.
A couple in Jersey Shore, Pa., Percy and Connie Emert say they captured a purple squirrel over the weekend and took pictures before letting the critter go.
A Pittsburgh Zoo curator says it looks like a grey squirrel that may have fallen into a portable toilet colored with bowl cleaner.
Percy and Connie Emert say even the inside of the squirrel’s ears were purple. Decide for yourself!
