But is he an eastern gray to fox squirrel?
With our campus friends are vacation, we have an opportunity to showcase another furry neighbor just to the north, this black squirrel. Oddly enough, this black squirrel as all black squirrels are just a subset of the two most common squirrel species that we encounter, the eastern gray squirrel and fox squirrel. Due to do a morph in a pigment gene, some eastern gray and fox squirrels become black. On being spotted on Mackinaw Island, this black squirrel said, "How did you spot me?!"
