Both Fox and Grey Squirrels come in Black around here. Color phase can be partial, mottled or jet black. Actually fairly common. Uncommon, around here anyway is solid white. In 63 years I've only seen one alive. I was deer hunting at the time and was armed with a 7MM Bee. Shooting him was not an option so I looked at him closely through the scope. Range was maybe 20yds so I got a good, long look. Every hair snow white with a pink nose and eyes. It was a Fox Squirrel. As soon as he left I slipped out of the woods and went home to fetch a .22. Hunted him for a week and never found him again. No leaves and he was easy to spot. I always wondered if a Raptor beat me to him.
