The two-tone squirrel on Boston Common
Hugmajesty wonders what the deal is with the half-gray, half red squirrel she saw on the Common today.
Did a grey squirrel and a red squirrel mate? Did this squirrel get its lower half bleached? What is happening?
Gene Mrozowski suggests:
New colors honoring the Boston Marathon this year.
Speaking of which, Kay Hanley, of Letters to Cleo, writes:
I LOVE these special Red Sox uniforms. They remind me of the old Service Master van that Cleo toured in for a couple of years in which we all nearly perished of carbon monoxide poisoning. I know this doesn’t sound like a compliment but it is.
Whatever the reason's for the little guy's unique coloring, he may have inherited it.

We've got black and grey squirrels
in our yard that have been cross-breeding for years.
You see them in all sorts of shades especially as they grow from little babies and look almost fox red.
