Albino squirrel at UNT The Albino Squirrel Preservation Society was founded at the University of Texas at Austin in 2001, and its sister chapter at University of North Texas (UNT) petitioned for an election to name their albino squirrel as the university's secondary mascot. The student body narrowly rejected the call. University of Louisville in Kentucky also has a documented population of albino squirrels.
