In 2013 I did a post on the
eastern fox squirrel. In a recent trip to Texas we noticed many fox squirrels in different locations. I got photos of them in San Angelo along the Concho River Walk and in Austin on the grounds of the Texas state capitol. There is a subspecies of the eastern fox squirrel, also known as the fox squirrel, which is the
Texas fox squirrel. I don't know what is different about this subspecies from others, or what the exact location parameters are, but I'm assuming that the fox squirrels I saw are of this subspecies. A
Texas wildlife source notes that there are no fox squirrels in the Panhandle.

Imagine walking around with a whole mango hanging out of your mouth. That's about the same ratio of that nut to the squirrel. Great photo. I love the golden cast to the fur.
