There probably escaped tame rabbits or people have let them go and they have bred. My local round about has 2 or 3 black ones on it.

 

Ive heard of albino badgers but never seen one. Suposedly a famous terrier man has a albino badger stuffed which was dug pre digging ban.

Many years ago a mate had two albino badgers stuffed that he dug, sold them after the ban on digging badgers for a good sum.

 

Again, many years ago (bout 22), whilst lamping foxs on the Wirral, we called in a white (albino?) fox. Couldn't belive our eyes but this critter was definatley a fox and white as snow. Got a run on it too but we had seen its eyes whilst we were moving to a better position, dropped in a ditch and called, it came in but it was a real small field so the slip was poor (and so were the dogs! ). Gotta admit, it was some sight to behold as youngsters, the excitement of realising what it was and it edging in toward us was almost unbearable!!

After this it was seen by other dog lads in the area but to my knowlage no-one ever caught it.

I know what you mean but No it was an albino brown hare. Ive not heard of albino mountain hares, only the melanistic variety (black) allthough albino mountain hares may well exist, Ive never seen one
