Field Notes
Description:
This squirrel has a golden coloured tail. This is what I found:

but others say it is a mutation...see links in Notes.
Habitat:
Taken by my cousin in his backyard in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.
Notes:
This photo was clicked by my cousin Prasenjit Dattaroy. He sent it to me because he wanted to know why this squirrel has a golden tail and if it is a mutation or an aberration. I have his permission to post it on PN ...I thought this was a cool fact to share.
