Some time ago I showed pictures of Black squirrels that populated a monster big Oak in our back yard.
With that in mind as well as thinking about the ever present Grey Squirrel I heard somewhere that there are Purple Squirrels. Has anyone ever seen any other colors besides the Grey and Black?
Wow that is just incredible! Thanks so much for the response and especially the pics. They're gorgeous. In thinking about it I have heard of Red Squirrels and flying squirrelsbut this is really great!
Wow what a amazing collection of squirrels. I never knew that they came in so many colors. I knew about Grey, black and red ones...even flying ones.. but not all of these other colors
Thank you both Perrie and Kavika. Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me! I asked a question and the answers have been outstanding. How much I learn by doing this!
When my Dad finally started working in 36 the first thing up was a .22 for getting rabbits and squirrels. It was always stew because my Mother said that it would take too many of either of them to feed us any way else. Still never saw anything else but greys until the blacks suddenly showed up in our back yard but by then I didn't need to hunt or fishto eat.
Funny!
Those are old pictures but you can see that I kept those little suckers well fed!

Far out Raven. Looks like a Fox Squirrel (they named it after Tsula you know).

Thanks for sharing tsula.
Great article tusla. The photos added of all the different colors is quite amazing as well.

Always is, if you know how to make it.

I bribe mine with peanuts and corn so they leave my bulbs alone - works......sometimes.
They are sometimes not-so-bright but also intelligent when they want to, as in proving the squirrel-proof feeders are not squirrel-proof at all
