Is this not normal? We have black, grey and red.

Over here in Europe it's a pretty common variant of the Eurasian Squirrel, which is usually red.

So I assume it's a similar case for American squirrels where you just have a couple squirrels of the same species with varying coats.

In Canada, we mostly have black squirrels... I can't think of a squirrel without it being black in my mind.

They mostly in southeastern Ontario, not all of Canada.
