    I didn't see any other squirrel (Sciurus) species listed for Bulgaria - it's definitely not an Eastern Gray -they don't have tufted ears. This guy is a dark morph, so even though he doesn't look particularly red, it doesn't mean he's not not a "red squirrel" Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

Julian, do you believe this is an Eastern Gray Squirrel? I don't think they are recorded in Bulgaria. Posted 5 years ago
