I've spotted just three fox squirrels in my home state of Florida. The Southernmost variety is an impressively large squirrel, about twice the size of a common gray squirrel and with a dark mask-like pattern on its face.
They look a bit like big ferrets, and they strongly prefer pine trees, from what I've read.
I want to get some photos.
I note that Wall Springs lists fox squirrels as one of the wildlife varieties seen at the park. I admit looking in the pine trees for nests even before reading that blurb at the park Web site.
