The Polish squirrels' ears certainly are longer that those in US! Did you know we have some totally black squirrels here? I have seen one twice in my life. How about in Poland...any black ones?

Mmm, I didn`t pay attention to ears so much.
I didn`t know about totally black squirrels but I have seen very dark squirels in Poland, as if they dyed their fur black and underneath they had auburn tufts.
I don't know if it is totally just a photo light play, but that squirrel is definitely darker than the auburn one. But, I'm amazed by those ear tufts! US squirrels look much like Polish ones, except for those wild ear tufts! ;D

When I was in NY in 1990, one of big surprises I received was seeing squirrels hopping freely in a tiny park encircled by busy streets in the centre of the city. Rodents were not afraid and approached people without hesitation.
Polish squirrels are a bit wilder, but still take food from people.
Most of the world looks alike for Autumn, it looks very much the same here as in the photo's. I wish I could, and knew how to send some photo's to show you.

It does look similar to parts of the U.S., but we don't have those cute Polish squirrels...
I have a yard full of them, eating all my bird food.
Mike
No, Mike. They are not the same. American squirrels are not as pretty as Polish ones.
There was a picture in my local newspaper recently of a white squirrel that someone had captured in a Have-a-Heart (doesn't harm animal) trap. It was not, contrary to what you might think, an albino, because it had brown eyes. Apparently there is a race of white squirres. I think I mentioned in another thread that I have seen all black squirres, but had never heard of white. Some town (I think in the mid-west, maybe) has so many white squirrels that it is a tourist attraction and people come to the town just to look at the white sqirrels. Any in Poland??

No. Poland is a country of normal, regular, standard, traditionally red/auburn squirrels. No perversion like white ones appear here.

Bonobo, the politically correct word is 'variant'. I thought you should know because of your strong personal need to be politically correct at all times.
Jeanne, I think the area you are referring to might be Brevard, North Carolina. An interesting link:

Yes, that looks like the place that was referenced in the article. And...I can tell Bonobo is jealous that there aren't white squirrels in Poland, can't you?? ;D ;D
These bad guys have been eating out of my bird feeders for some time, like Demo, taken what is not there's. I hate, for this reason, those long tail rats. I have put feed out for them, and they still eat out of the bird feeders.

No, guys. I am very seldom jealous. The last time was in 1990s when I saw how my uni mate put down music notes for a piece of music he heard. It was incredible. It was time when I was a vivid accordeon player and I wanted to be so gifted like my colleague in order to put down music from songs I heard.
One time I succeded - I put down music from Shrek 1 completely on my own. It has been the ring tone in my mobile for a few years now.
As for squirrels, I don`t care about white, black or green squirrels. The auburn Polish squirrels are the most beautiful and you know that.

And why is this not in the "We will rock you" thread??? ;D ;D ;D
but no, no, no, I do not want one to take a nut out of my mouth!!!!
Why not? They don`t bite.
First of all, they can and do bite. My friend's son picked one up (it must have been ill) and it latched onto the boy's finger. They could not remove it no matter what they did. They ended up taking the child to the emergency room at the hospital with the squirrel still attached to his finger. Then the squirrel had to be tested for rabies. Luckily, the squirrel did not have rabies, or the child would have had to undergo a very painful round of shots.
Which brings me to the second point. Do you have rabies in Poland among wild animals? If so, you must know that it is spread through saliva, so even though the squirrel in the photo is not biting his host, his mouth is a little too close for comfort in my eyes!

Yes, we do have rabies in wildlife. And yes, I forgot about it.
BTW, why do you say he about the squirrel? In Polish it is she.

I guess we Americans use the default of masculine when referring to animals, unless it is obvious that the animal is female such as when she has young with her or one otherwise knows it is a female. I know you know that objects don't have gender in English, right?

I know some which have:) ships, cars, countries and Death.
Ships...yes, okay. Cars, I'm not so sure of, or countries. Death, yes, when it is being referred to as the "Grim Reaper." Cars and countries, I believe, are usually referred to as "it."
