Cute, but still vermin.

He’s cute. He looks like he’s part skunk.

My cat kills three squirrels a week. We are overrun with them here.

Thanks for the story. That is unique. We had one around with a red tail. Cat probably had him for breakfast.

Very cool, i want one. I saw a show on The Learning Channel that featured 'Albino' squirrels.

Unfortunately, they are so rare because they aren't able to camouflage as well and other critters kill them easier.

Bless the furry creatures of the Wild Kingdom !

haha!

A squirrel that has markings and coloring like a skunk.

But he’s STILL a rat-cousin !!! :^D

It is a Fox squirrel...... it is not a red or gray squirrel but a separate species.

In my youth they were not especially uncommon.

Curious critter turning heads near Sauble Beach

Wonder if they’ll call it an Obama Squirrel...

the coloration (apparent mutation?) might provide him with some protection, since predators may mistake him for a skunk.
