The title is misleading as I really don't have the 'tale' of the mishap. This poor guy just showed up in the yard with a significantly shortened tail.
It didn't look to be bothering him too much but I wonder if it will throw his balance off and make those acrobatic feats more difficult.
@ludwigsdiana You may be on to something there. I often see one squirrel chasing another across the yard and it looks quite aggressive not like just fun frolicking.
@quietpurplehaze Yes it is now, but they are a recent addition. I mean recent as in maybe the last 20 or 30 years. When I was a kid I only remember seeing the grey squirrels ( like the one in your recent shot) but over the years, and since we moved into Ontario from Quebec, I see the black ones more and more frequently ( but still lots of greys too).
Interesting. Greys are of course, an American import to UK. We have very small pockets of the native red ones left. I saw a photo of an albino squirrel the other day. No black ones here.
