A rare colour-changing stoat has been spotted in a British garden after it turned completely WHITE

This super-rare pure white stoat has been spotted in a British garden - after it CHANGED COLOUR ahead of the snowfall.

Stoats are mostly brown but in the coldest parts of the world some have a genetic quirk which means they can turn white to blend in with snowy surroundings.

When this cheeky critter was spotted by wildlife artist Robert Fuller in his Yorkshire garden in December, only its tail had begun to turn white.
