Black Squirrel for OC

Post by Ed_B »

OC I was told you might like these pic's

The Black squirrel showed up a couple of years ago mated up with the gray one, had 4 babies this spring, 2 black 2 gray.
The gray one appears to be the mother, as it was the one that they ran around with when the were small.

Neat! Who knew there were so many colors of sqwerls? They look mostly not-evil too. Well, you know, as not-evil as any sqwerl can get. ;)

Excellent photos!
