Squnks: Piebald Sciurus carolinensis

What’s going on here? What is a squnk?


An unusual squirrel searches for food beneath a bird feeder at the home of Harry and Alice Hilliard near Sauble Beach, Canada, in 2008. Photo by Kevin Loader.

Photographs are newly under discussion on the Internet of piebald (black and white) squirrels (Eastern gray squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis), taken in High Park area, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Considering that Cryptomundo has spent some time discussing both black (melanistic) and white (albino, or near albino, i.e. leucistic) squirrels, what are we to make of these new squnks, that even have photographic evidence?


Anyone have any information on this black & white squirrel population, in terms of how many there are?

Other locations?

For more on past black squirrel and white squirrel postings at Cryptomundo, see: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Plus, see 2006’s Top Ten White & Black Squirrels’ Hot Spots, and Yahoo: “Salt & Pepper Squirrels” #1.

(Idea from a mention by Karl Shuker.)
