Look just above the corner what they dumped on the floor.

This just showed up in my Steam Discovery Queue. No idea if it’s any good.

Momma was eating some almonds so I went Squizzle spelunking.
You have to trust me, there are babies under that nesting stuff. They were moving around underneath but they didn’t show, what I’ll assume is, their cute faces.
I have to get in and out quick because if momma sees me she comes running. She’s a good mom.

Very dark fur! Is there a strain of black “grey squrrels” in your area?
I remember seeing that in part of Michigan, a town full of squirrels in which that mutation had spread.

I’ve researched this before because I was always used to seeing gray and brown versions of the standard gray squirrel. The black ones have been the most common in our yard for a few years.
I always forget what I read so I refreshed my memory.
Black morphs of eastern gray squirrels occur most frequently in the northern portion of its range around the Great Lakes Basin.
And then there’s this…
Several theories have surfaced as to why the black morph occurs, with some suggesting that the black morph is a selective advantage for squirrels inhabiting the northern ranges of the species, with the black fur providing a thermal advantage over its non-melanistic counterpart.
Maybe we’re seeing a little evolution in our backyard.

We once saw a black squirrel just after visiting the National Zoo with my wife’s father. I think he was more excited by the squirrel than any of the animals we saw at the zoo.

The neighborhood where I grew up and this one always had brown, gray, and black squirrs. The grays here have been slowly disappearing over the decades. Mom figured they’d been interbreeding with the brown ones.
