I love to watch the squirrels that frequent out backyard. I think of them as "our" squirrels.

Several of them have white fur on their ears. One has an almost naked tail, with a big tuft of fur at the tip. It looks healthy and well fed, and all the fur on its body is sleek and not at all patchy. We have no idea why the tail looks the way it does.
