I was at my sister's in Livingston County Il and she has 3 squriles that appear to be red squriles but their under side and face are black. They bound more like a ferrett than run like a typical squirle. Have you ever seen or heard of such a thing?

Would it be possible for you to send me a photo of the squirrels? This would help in properly identifying the animals.
