    That’s a pretty dark squirrel. Darker than I’m accustomed to seeing. I’m curious what part of the world this would be.

    I love the ears. 💜

      They are usually melanistic gray squirrels and there are pockets of them scattered throughout North America. I’ve personally seen quite a few in a local town in upstate New York.

      We’ve got squirrels like that in Alberta. I think I’ve seen them in Ontario too, but not Manitoba.
