Yesterday I saw a squirrel with an orange body and a black head. When I saw the white eye on its right, I realized that I filmed the same animal on December 16, 2024.
AI told me that it should be an Eastern Grey Squirrel with genetic anomaly.

Of course, I meant "I saw this unusual squirrel again"! ;D

We see this colour variation fairly commonly in our backyard squirrels. We have at least one this year.

Those mahogany squirrels are appearing elsewhere too, spreading throughout our sovereign land. I read online that these mahogany squirrels were created in a lab somewhere in the US, for the purposes of spying on Canadians, ascertaining the strength of our defences and reporting back to US intelligence via an encrypted communication system code-named Oxymoron.

Yep, I won't be surprised if SS had something to do with it.
Years ago, I was attending a model shooting event. An American photographer from a southern state was fascinated by the black squirrels. He never saw a black one before.

OMG! Americans were shooting models beyond their prime? Like ailing horses! Another example how we will never be part of a gun-oriented society. I remember that certain kids in the 1960's would sometimes dispose of old models that they built before they actually acquired the necessary skills to build good models by blowing them up with firecrackers. Back then we had Canon crackers, which blow-up models real good. Of course, in later grades, we learned the evils of shrapnel, even plastic (Styrene) shrapnel, but we would continue to do it anyway. You can't tell a Heinz pickle nothing. No wonder no one builds models anymore ... it's the fear of inappropriate disposal. I know what you might be thinking? How did these kids manage the need for long fuses. That's a secret. I can't risk divulging the secret lest mahogany squirrels are listening.
