Caption: Black and Gray Squirrels
Additional Description: Gray Squirrel?
Black Squirrel?
Its the same Squirrel. The black squirrel is the same species as the gray -- just a color variation. Around Washington, the black color is common; in parts of Canada it often outnumbers the familiar gray.

White Squirrel?
Although they're very rare, we occasionally see white squirrels around the Zoo. They're another variety of gray squirrels.Close-up of illustration on marker
