Toronto has black squirrels

Most squirrels in Ontario are black. It's the non black ones that are in the minority.

This is just...normal.

This was my immediate thought too. In London Ontario, they are basically all black here.

i was gonna ask bc like… i feel like literally every other squirrel here is pure black fur and i live in southern ontario. its crazy to me that this is not normal elsewhere? it’s so prevalent that they’re what i think of when someone says to think of a squirrel.
