Eastern Gray squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis.

Central Park Gray Squirrels congregated in an apparent celebration of the ripening of Black Walnuts. This particular contingent of eight excited furry mammals demonstrated the species preferred techniques and proper etiquette for the opening and eating of Black Walnuts. Here are some highlights of the event (first in a series of three).

This reminds me of a Far Side comic that showed a bunch of squirrels in a huddle chanting "Nuts! Nuts! Get 'em!" The caption was something like "How squirrels get pumped." I miss the Far Side.

Hey, that's an android squirrel, no doubt part of their army. I think they have a plot to take over the world. Fortunately, they're not too bright, so they've only got the southern end of Seurasaari.

P.S. greetings from the ESEB in Uppsala.

Is there a website that clearly shows and describes the differences between Eastern and Western Grey Squirrels?

My dad and I have tried to find this information and have not had any luck.
