Laney, interestingly as it is, from my research it has indicated that, at least in some locations, black squirrels are not a different breed. Rather they are a gray squirrel that the pigment in their fur is just different. I’m thinking this may be somewhat like some white squirrels.They have them in the delta Nth. of Vicksburg, MISS, when i had my dogs have killed several also mix reds with black, also mix red and cat squirrels.
My guess is that may be the reason for other variations in the color(s) of some other squirrels.
Either way, they sure are pretty
