Sometimes you feel like a nut...

This guy seems to mostly all the time feel like a nut, and he'll go just about anywhere to get one.
The squirrels colouring is very dark. Is he / she a black squirrel?

@junep Yes. We seem to have two colour groupings around here, there are the lighter grey/brown ones and then some very dark ones that from the distance look black, In bright light or up close of course you do see some lighter brown in the fur.
I tried to do some research and from what I could find it sounds like they are just different color variatons of the same breed but I've also noticed that the darker ones, around here at least also seem to be smaller than the lighter coloured ones.
