Description
This has got to be one of the strangest, and yet funny looking squirrels I have ever seen. He looks old and bizarre, or is that "He" a "SHE". I can't tell what is going on down there. I have never seen this squirrel before, and he just sat on this table for hours just like this! Holding his stomach and looking like he or she has a stomach ache! Or I guess he is giving himself the "Hymlick" to make his spit up a seed he swallowed down the wrong pipe.. hehe..
The Eastern gray squirrel and Eastern fox squirrel were introduced in Washington in the early 1900s. Since then they have been repeatedly released in parks, campuses, estates, and residential areas. They are now the most common tree squirrels in urban areas.The upper parts of the Eastern gray squirrel are gray with a reddish wash in summer; its underparts are whitish. It’s about 20 inches long, half of which is its prominent, bushy tail.
The fur color of these two introduced squirrels can vary greatly. Some individuals, even whole populations, may be almost entirely black.The increasing number of introduced Eastern gray squirrels is often said to be responsible for the decrease in Douglas squirrels in certain areas. However, given that these squirrels have different food and shelter preferences, it’s likely that increasing housing and other development, and loss of coniferous forests is responsible for any decline in Douglas squirrel populations/
