Bon Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 He's pretty big!! We always see gray & red squirrels in our yard along with chippys. When I went walking up the back road (Hollywood Rd formally known as 5 pts rd), I saw a black squirrel .. wonder if it's the same one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 He's not a true black squirrel, you can see brown highlights on him. Did you know that 2 gray squirrels cant produce a black squirrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He's not a true black squirrel, you can see brown highlights on him. Did you know that 2 gray squirrels cant produce a black squirrel? But, if they see the movie "50 Shades of Gray", they can try various ways to effect color variations. Bon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMJ77 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 With its shiny, bottomlessly dark coat, a black squirrel stands out vividly at a distance, and is instantly memorable. Relatively little is known with scientific certainty about the specifics of black squirrel life. Still, scientists have come to some tentative conclusions , mainly from encountering them in gray squirrel studies. Black squirrels are not a separate species at all, but a melanistic morpheme, casually known to scientists as a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UstaParty Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I am going to be waging war with the squirrels that are invading my bird feeders. I have 4 that are "squirrel proof" and the little b@#$%rds still find a way to empty them out. They're already the size of a cocker spaniel and I've had enough!

Ms Chris Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 While visiting friends in London Ontario we saw more black squirrels than gray. They said it was rare to see a gray squirrel in their housing development. It was kinda cool to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
