Ok, someone please help me out here. In Ohio, on a college campus i THINK is Baldwin-Wallace (but I'll doublecheck that...it was years ago when I visited colleges there for schooling prospects)....there are these very large squirrels, that are colored, more or less, like skunks. Only the striping isn't as uniform. More or less, their bodies are mottled with a combination of very dark brown to black fur, with random patches of white fur. Now, I was 18 at the time and not too wordly, so I just figured it was some squirrel species I didn't know about yet...but as time hass gone on, I've never seen brownish-black/white squirrels anywhere else on earth....what the hell species is this? They're abundant too on this campus...I probably saw 25 or 30 fitting this description so it's not some fluke albino or bizarre mutant....it's an abundant population of squirrels like this.
So please zoology majors...clue me in...what species is this? Surely it can't be an unknown species...can it?
