ooo, if it was all white it was probably leucistic, which is very rare to see in the wild! usually they get eaten real fast because of their lack of camouflage.

There's a Swan local to me who will eat out of your hand, it's pretty cool seeing as a Swan can break your arm pretty easily

Not very exciting stuff as a city kid, but I saw a black squirrel and was AMAZED. I remember seeing a deer for the first time and thinking it was the coolest thing ever, too. At my vacation lake, there's this tree that was struck by lightning where a bunch of eagles hang out. Such a cool sight. And, if you wake up early enough, you'll see this crane there, too. pretty neat.
When I went to Disneyland I saw a wild lizard for the first time and that was just about the highlight of my trip.

Way back in 2013 our dog was going nuts at something under the shed. My dad checks it out and goes, yup there's something furry under there so me and my sister went up and it was a Tassie Devil! Our dog stayed inside the rest of the day to give it some peace and the next morning it was gone. We still have no idea how it got into our yard.
A couple of years before that a whale gave birth in the river at the beach near my house, we have yearly visits from whales but there hadn't been a recorded birth for 190+ odd years

I saw a white wild turkey the other day, trying to think of other cool things... Oh yeah I swam with wild dolphins one day, had never seen them at that beach before but as soon as we hopped out they swam even further towards the shore. Hm, I also love seeing native kererus eating gauvas from trees around our house

I saw a fairly large fox litter playing in some drainage pipes and one of the cubs also happen to be piebald. I've also spotted a bald eagle in my area three different times.
