    The band of brownish color which stretches from the critter’s face to it’s feet ranges from cinnamon to a golden apricot. It’s a seldom mentioned by observers of these either gray or black squirrels, but actually quite beautiful. We miss this when we judge this species by it’s rapacious and destructive nature. Take a deep breath and look again. It has a beauty you have been missing.
