Tyla 3,179 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Bizarre looking squirrel! Looks like an escapee exotic, never knew there were any other than the reds and greys kicking about, anyone else heard of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Great that, isn't it? If someone off here posted a picture of it killed by one of our dogs whilst out walking, there'd be an outcry on there! Interesting looking squizzer though! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevost%27s_Squirrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
