A mother squirrel gave birth to four baby squirrels. The fourth baby had a random genetic mutation that gave it white, fluffy fur instead of brown, short fur like its siblings. When humans destroyed the family of squirrel's habitat, they were forced to move north where the environment was much colder and the land covered in snow.Which of the four babies is most likely to survive in their new environment?

The baby squirrel with white, fluffy fur is most likely to survive in the new environment as its fur provides better insulation against the cold, snowy environment.
