A squirrel tail of a different color

I had never seen one with a white tail. I've had a few people tell me that they have. The house I grew up in backed up to a nature area we had a bumper crop of squirrels every year but I never saw one like this one.

More likely - a Cottontail That's what happens when squirrels mate with white-tail deer! :)

There is a town in SW Missouri (Marionville) that has a big population of all white Squirrels

There is an area on the north rim of the Grand Canyon where you can see the Kaibob squirrel. It's not easy to get there but the squirrels are black with a bright white tail. They are also pretty rare but when you get into their territory and you'll start to see them running around.

Great capture Sam. Iām thinking the mailman at the squirrel house was a skunk. š

It's called the White Tailed Squirrel (oddly enough)...and is native to North America.
First one was noted around 300 years ago.
Nice.
