Go to http://www.scarysquirrel.org/current/bla鈥?/a> They have info on black squirrels. There are lots of sites about them.
They are a genetic variation of the Eastern Grey Squirrel. Please read these articles for more details.
during the slave trade, the grey squirrels shipped them over on boats from africa after all the red squirrels numbers declined due to an immune system ill equipped for grey squirrel germs.
