Here's a story you might think is nuts! A couple in Pennsylvania found a unique squirrel in their backyard.

If you look closely, you can see it's not brown - it's purple! Wildlife experts say the animal may have come into contact with some sort of dye. They say it could also be because some animals can take on the color of what they eat.

The couple released the squirrel back into the wild on Tuesday.
