Some of these fox squirrels that live in the state parks where they cant be hunted get the size of a small fox. Chain O Lakes State Park has the biggest fox sqirrels Ive ever seen in my life!!.. You'd have to pressure cook them 3-4 hours just to eat the gravy.. eek eek wink h.h. h.h.
The black squirrel occurs as a melanistic subgroup of the eastern gray squirrel and of the fox squirrel.[1] They are common in the Midwestern United States, eastern Canada, and parts of the Northeastern United States and the United Kingdom.
