Did You Know?: Black Squirrels

One of the first things I noticed when we moved to Toronto were the squirrels.  I'm used to squirrels, but all of the squirrels I'd ever seen were gray with maybe a bit of white.  So when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye, I saw a large, black, furry, rodent running on the side of our deck - I was pretty freaked out.  It took me a bit to figure out what it was - just a harmless squirrel, but black in color!  While you'll also see some gray squirrels in TO, the majority that I see are black.  Really, they are pretty cute once you get used to them but they still scare the bejeezus out of me every once and a while.
