Yes! So amazing to see their fur has a rich mix of white, grey, black, and brown!

I've heard that squirrels in can carry the bubonic plague. Probably don't want to go around holding wild ones.

I never heard of it before, thanks for the info. Thankfully it seems more common in hot climates

In Canada, human cases of plague are very uncommon. The last case was reported in 1939.
