Sign of the Apocalypse #4: Albino raccoons in Scarborough. No, really.

They lack the telltale bandit masks and striped tails, but believe it or not, these little critters are indeed baby raccoons. They were found yesterday in a Toronto home, along with their more traditionally patterned littermate, by wildlife technician Scott Liddle of Gates Wildlife Control. “Only one in 500,000 raccoons is born albino, and for three of them to be born in one litter is even more uncommon,” said company owner Brad Gates. Freaky animal phenomena? Surely a sign that the end of days is nigh.
