Zoo hunt for albino visitor

VISITORS to Edinburgh Zoo are being asked to help hunt an unusual animal that has taken up residence there - an albino squirrel.

The squirrel has been spotted on several occasions, but as yet there are no pictures of the elusive white rodent.

Now staff at the zoo have launched a competition, offering visitors the chance to win free tickets to the zoo or the Highland Wildlife park.

The best photo will be the winner, and the competition closes on January 31.
