A rural Decorah couple--Matt and Taylor Amundson—have spotted an Albino Raccoon while on a walk near their home in the northern part of Winneshiek County.
By some reports, only one in a half-million raccoons are born without the pigment that gives a raccoon its distinctive black mask, striped tail and other fur markings.
Says Matt, "(we're) hoping that if people see a picture of this rare creature, that they would choose to leave it alone (like we did) and enjoy having this raccoon living in a great place like Iowa."
