New Rat Found in London.

An AIbino rat with pink eyes and
white skin and hair has been found in
London, and its origin is a mystery.
One theory is that the rodent may
have bred from tame specimens that
had escaped. A large number were
around Piccadilly Circus in the heart
of the city. One rat catcher. who cap
tiIred 100 of them, has given them
the name of "Piccadilly Gingers."
