SQUIRRELS!

RULES:

Be kind to each other. Squirrels are cute, cuddly, and nice. Be like squirrels.
Posts should be images of squirrels doing squirrel things. Squirrel things include eating, chilling, playing, burying, and sleeping. You wouldn’t want to be alerted of a capybara doing calculus through the Squirrel Spotting Society, would you?
Images should be of living, healthy, happy squirrels. The Squirrel Spotting Society exists to bring smiles to squirrel enjoyers around the world, not sour frowns.
Keep it suitable for all squirrel enjoyers. Nothing too freaky or NSFW.
With respect to this community, moderators are the squirreliest squirrels. Please shoot us a message if you have questions or concerns!

That's a pretty dark squirrel. Darker than I'm accustomed to seeing. I'm curious what part of the world this would be.

I love the ears. 💜

They are usually melanistic gray squirrels and there are pockets of them scattered throughout North America. I've personally seen quite a few in a local town in upstate New York.

We have black squirrels like that in the UK in the North Hertfordshire area. Apparently they are spreading and taking over from the greys. I'm not sure if that makes them friends of the reds.

We've got squirrels like that in Alberta. I think I've seen them in Ontario too, but not Manitoba.
