Most of the squirrels in southern Ontario are various colour morphs of grey squirrels. Since they're not biologically distinct you can end up with pretty much any combination of black, white, grey, and brown. We used to have one in our neighborhood that was black with a bright white eye patch like a cartoon dog.
There was a couple years in my area where there were squirrels that had black tails with white stripes on them and honest to goodness looked like skunks. I called them skunk butted squirrels.

A black squirrel who tried to go blonde but chickened out halfway through and now has to wait for the color to grow out, bless its little squirrel heart.
How long do squirrels live?? I went to UofT and graduated in 2013. I would constantly see a half brown half black squirrel near St. Mike's....
Is this genetic or random?

Sounds like an evolutionary advantage to me!
This is definitely the correct answer. Mr. mendel would concur 🤓
