Greg Strand told WCSH-TV that he heard a commotion and quickly hid to see what was coming.
Strand said he saw a large adult porcupine and then was surprised to discover a smaller beast following it. He said the smaller animal practically blended in with the snow on the ground as it moved behind the larger animal. It was a rare albino porcupine.
Stand’s wife posted the video of the encounter on Facebook.
An official with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife told WCSH that it's very unusual to see an albino animal in the state.
Albino animals, regardless of species, are pretty rare," agency official Ryan Robicheau said.
