Strange critters are in my yard! *PIX*

My understanding is there are 4 basic kinds of squirrels (gray, black, red, fox) and from what I could decipher online, it's typically the gray and blacks that have the white tails. I don't know if this squirrel and the one across town are really rare, or just not commonly reported.

Also some areas have all 4 kinds of squirrels calling it home. I've only seen that a few times, and most areas only have 1 or 2 kinds of squirrels. In my area Fox squirrels are the dominant, although over the years we've seen a couple Reds, and one time a Black, but never seen a Gray in this area yet.

That squirrel is beautiful, I've never seen one like that. The fox squirrels we have in Florida have black heads- they're actually on the endangered species list, but I used to see them all the time at my old house.
