Bigfoot is apparently not the craziest thing you might find in North Carolina’s backwoods.
On Wednesday, state biologists revealed a disconcerting fact about those infamous 2-foot-tall fox squirrels known to live in the eastern part of the state.
“Just another boring rodent, right?” said a post on the NC Candid Critters Facebook page. “Not unless you think that glowing pink is boring!”
Many fox squirrels have a condition called congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) that causes their bones and sometimes even their fur to glow pink under ultraviolet light.
