The squirrels we have here are Eastern Grey Squirrels but they are not all grey. Like humans there are different hair colours. The majority of ours are black but there are still a lot of the grey ones and in some parts of the city there are small colonies of white ones - not albinos but rather true white ones with dark eyes. When I was walking along Philosopher's Walk I probably saw 50 black squirrels and maybe 4 grey ones and then I spotted this guy. He was very pale but quite lovely with that bushy tail and pale features. Apparently a mutation of some sort. I was thrilled to see him.Taking part in Saturday's Critters.

A very long time ago, when I moved from Montreal to the Toronto area, I was surprised to see black squirrels. I couldn't recall seeing them in Montreal at that time.
