Kaibab Squirrel

For 40 years I searched for the illusive Kaibab Squirrels!! I found this pair folickling in the Kaibab Forest on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Millions of years ago, these were Abert's squirrels. As the Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon and the Kaibab Plateau rose, these guys become isolated with desert on 3 sides and the canyon on the south. They evolved into their own sub-species known as the Kaibab Squirrel. It's called isolated evolution. They are distinctive and noted for their fluffy white tails which blend in with the snow on the North Rim.

What have you searched for? Has it taken you as long as it took me?
